This crap is the worst of the worst.
In fact, just update the url and title to the report:
How Discover-Tech Turned Targeted Ads Into a Pipeline for Zero-Click Mercenary Spyware

Yet we don't sanction Israel nor hold them accountable in any way. Of course they're spying on members of the UN and ICC, of course. Israel is at war with the entire world right now, and my politicians continue to support them. Thankfully many people have woken up, but the situation is dire.
Based on responses from roughly 46,700 people assessing 129 countries, Israel ranked as the most negatively perceived country worldwide, ahead of North Korea, Afghanistan, and Iran. The most positively viewed were Switzerland, Canada, Japan, Sweden, and Italy.

A Discover-Tech ad impression does not in and of itself confirm targeting or infection with spyware.
That's from the study itself: https://citizenlab.ca/research/how-discover-tech-turned-targ...Israel is at war with Hamas, Iran and its proxies and allies.
In any case, Netanyahu's self-described "eighth front" is world-spanning and being (poorly) fought right now: https://www.timesofisrael.com/failing-on-the-8th-front-the-m...
Israel's engagement in worldwide information warfare is self-professed. You might not call it war, but Likud does.

I will never vote for this particular (D) candidate again. Fortunately, the (L) candidate seems reasonable.
If indeed your representatives support Israel or the genocide in Gaza, I urge you to consider voting 3rd party. In two-party elections, candidates mostly just try to be a little better than their opponent. What forces them to do more isn’t a third party actually winning. It’s a real risk that enough fed-up voters will go third-party and cost them the election. This is basic game theory optimization.

Hope we follow guidelines under this link or “then nobody gets it!”

Thanks by the way for introducing me to that graph. I didn't know that anyone collected that kind of stuff.
