Another fast-growing Israeli app which has been featured on Oprah, in the New York Times and on CNN is Fooducate, whose founder, Hemi Weingarten, flew bombing missions for the Israeli air force.

It's odd how many horrors Oprah has at least a small connection to.

Whenever something advertises itself to the world by making a lap through the daytime and morning talk show circuits, I assume malice.

Oprah enabled so many shitty people.

It seems like only shitty people are successful.

fucking Waze???? noooooo. anyone have an alternative?

also surprised to see ExpressVPN not on the list. fairly common knowledge it's a pipeline to Mossad. article on it: https://www.mintpressnews.com/exposed-how-israeli-spies-control-your-vpn/288259/

I knew Waze was isreali but thought they sold to google, which isn't much better. I was only recently able to ween off of it and found comparable ish luck with Here we go and organic maps
