While the anti-Zionist narrative generally fits my worldview I’d be remiss to not point out that this is pretty much status quo for any foreign intelligence service.
Not giving them a pass in the slightest, just be aware it’s happening everywhere unfortunately.
I do not mean to imply utilizing rings to get compromat on pedophiles, just generally getting compromat on folks
Everywhere is a bit of a misnomer. Yes every country will research whomever they're dealing with, that's just basic politics and business.
But specifically seeking out compromat is not something all countries do, it's what bully countries like the US, Russia, China, Israel, etc will do you try to control others for their own benefit.
Having your spy agency look into the politicians and business people they deal with is a good idea, doesn't mean you're attempting to blackmail and threaten them. And that's what compromat is for, blackmail and threats.
