NYC Taxpayers Spending Millions on Cyber Center with Controversial Ties to Israeli Intelligence
New York City taxpayers are on the hook for a multi-million dollar cyber center in the heart of Manhattan with deep ties to Israel's high-tech intelligence apparatus.

Early last week, the city of New York launched — with little media scrutiny — one of two new massive cybersecurity centers that will be run by private Israeli firms https://www.timesofisrael.com/as-threats-grow-nyc-launches-100-million-israeli-run-cybersecurity-hub/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter  with close ties to Israel's government, the so-called "Mega Group" https://www.mintpressnews.com/mega-group-maxwells-mossad-spy-story-jeffrey-epstein-scandal/261172/ tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and prominent pro-Israel lobby organizations operating in the United States. The centers were first announced  https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium-two-israeli-firms-to-build-ny-s-cybersecurity-centers-1.6529487 in 2018 as was the identity of the firms who would run them: Israel-based Jerusalem Venture Partners and SOSA.

Thus, much as Israel's cybersecurity industry has long been fused to Israel's military and intelligence apparati, the Paul Singer-funded and Israel-backed policy has openly sought to bring American companies and government agencies into the fold in order to prevent boycotts of Israel. Though the so-called "anti-BDS laws" that have been passed in several U.S. states are one facet of this push, the use of Israeli tech, namely cybersecurity, sector to pursue this same end has received decidedly less coverage.

The decision to create expensive, new cybersecurity centers run by JVP and SOSA, two Israeli firms with clear ties to controversial pro-Israel lobby organization and donors as well as Israel's government and intelligence apparatus, reveals that not only is this Singer and Israel-backed policy continuing to develop and expand at a rapid pace, but now the money of New York City taxpayers is now being used to propel it to new heights even though that very policy benefits Israel's economy at the U.S.' expense.
