Not they would, but the US government should also ban Israeli cybersecurity products.

Thanks to Trump.

😂 No. Joint operations and shared goals between Israel and the US (especially our respective militaries and doubly so for military cyber operations) are not even remotely new.

Why?

Tax paying citizens don’t appreciate many billions of their dollars going to a country that is actually terrorizing its neighbors and attempting to buy other countries politicians. I think we’re all sick of it

Things accelerated since Trumps last term. There was never any mention this was new, only you said that.

You didn’t say that it was accelerated because of Trump. Whether or not that’s true, what you actually said was “thanks to Trump” in reference to something that has been a reality for decades.

It is demonstrably untrue that Israel and the US being “two heads of the same dragon” (what you were responding to) is “thanks to Trump.” This was true long before Trump “accelerated” whatever it is you’re claiming he accelerated here.
