Many, many, many Fortune 500 companies use Israeli cybersecurity services.

I guess that your concerns are not aligned with reality, or the benefits far outweigh whatever it is you think may happen.

Or maybe fortune 500 companies have different vulnerabilities, financial power, and concerns than individual humans.

I'm saying they shouldn't do that, because there is a decent chance those Israeli companies may do things at odds with their customers' best interests (because they cannot or would not say no to a government request).

A good chunk of the EU powergrid uses Israeli made embedded systems.

It's possible for this to be true, and that they spy on said companies on behalf of the government of Israel. It makes it easier to do so.
