Knesset Hopeful Sparks Outrage With Holocaust Comparison

Designated Knesset Member Eliyahu Stark of United Torah Judaism has sparked political controversy by comparing the situation of Haredi Jews regarding military conscription to the Holocaust. His remarks drew sharp criticism from politicians like Avigdor Lieberman and the "Am Israel" Party, who called for condemnation. Stark, who is close to the Prime Minister's office, made the comparison during a discussion about the yeshiva student draft crisis. The "Am Israel" Party also renewed its opposition to Yitzhak Goldknopf potentially joining the coalition.

Israeli Firms Accused of Using Ads to Distribute Spyware

A new study by Citizen Lab alleges that Israeli companies Discover-Tech and Candiru (Integrity Labs) used digital advertising to distribute spyware, targeting Al Jazeera employees and compromising 45 Windows computers. The technique, dubbed "Ad-fection," allegedly allowed spyware to be installed simply by viewing an ad. Discover-Tech's "Controllium" system is implicated in tracking and targeting devices. Google and the European Advertising Standards Alliance have already taken action against Discover-Tech, disconnecting it from ad systems and removing it from approved provider lists.
