Sounds like it’s time for Kushner to use his amazing negotiating skills.
Appalling.
This sounds like a great start for a spy novel. Good on AP for following up so seriously. I have to say journalists may well be more important than the military in saving the world from evil.
This is the corporate version of the stupid shit done by James o’keefe. It is fraud, and these guys ought to be prosecuted. Film them, and take it to the ny AG and the Canadian authorities.
Somehow, Russia’s best agent will be linked to all this.

Very interesting article. The links between Saudi Arabia and Israel have become obvious. Saudi Arabia and Israel vs Iran. Russia and the US in there somewhere. And none of them want any visibility. The Khashoggi murder was ordered by an autocrat so arrogant he didn’t think there’d be any significant repercussions.
Stupidly, they’ve just been raising their own profile.
And, this plays right into the “any criticism of Israel or Israeli businesses is by definition anti-Semitic” game that Likud and U.S. right-wing Jews play constantly. The Holocaust was an unimaginable horror that tore a ragged gash in the façade of human progress. Having said that, Israel is a sovereign state that has done all kinds of shady things in its history, under cover of absolute, unquestioning U.S. protection. Teaming up with the Whahabist Saudis against Iran is the pinnacle of cynical realpolitik.
Bibi has laid down with the vipers, as the crook and liar he is. When will Israel indict him and his wife? Probably never, this is how the world works now.
Although, to their credit, the Israeli justice system has not backed down from pursuing his crimes.
Well look at the bright side. They are still alive.
Agreed. My first thought was how upset I was that these researchers got rolled – but they got wise very quickly, and AP even took an active role.
There are predators out there, and they’ve been emboldened by a surprisingly docile public. I’m glad to see folks are not taking this crap lying down anymore.

Not to forget their teaming up with the Anti Semitic, Rapture Believing, Anti Desegregation, Pseudo Christians in the US who believe the Rapture cannot come until all Jews have returned to Israel.
Line One of Defense-In a statement, NSO denied having anything to do with the undercover operations targeting Citizen Lab, “either directly or indirectly” and said it had neither hired nor asked anyone to hire private investigators to pursue the Canadian organization. “Any suggestion to the contrary is factually incorrect and nothing more than baseless speculation,” NSO said.
Line Two of Defense- You are clearly anti Semitic and hate Israel.
At one point he repeated a racist French expression, insisting it wasn’t offensive.
Was it “macaca”?
