Linus Torvalds - ban Israel developers from linux
Oh, shit, the Mossad would absolutely do that, huh
Israel isn't knee deep in an information war against the US and Europe, is it? The ban didn't happen because of the war against Ukraine. It happened because of the ongoing cyber war against democracy.

Um, isn't it? If anything, they are worse than Russia on this count.
Absolutely not. Russia's propaganda efforts are unparalleled. They directly or indirectly fund many authoritarian movements across the globe and systematically spam social media with false information.
Israel doesn't need to spam social media because they dominate mass media and have most of our politicians by the balls between AIPAC (the biggest funder of authoritarianism in the US) and straight up blackmail. That's not to offer any legitimacy to your implication that Israel doesn't also run massive disinformation campaigns on social media, because they excel at that as well.

So does US.
Russia's propaganda efforts are unparalleled.
This is true, Israel doesn't do propaganda, it directly buys the lawmakers.

You're right, they're trying to spread their pro-genocide propaganda all over the world
Dude, be fuqin real.
Israel doesn't currently have sanctions pending against them that the Finnish government has a vested interest to enforce.
They should, don't get me wrong, but I don't believe Linus' decision is rooted in politics - they'd have to vet each contribution anyway.
