If .mil is typoed to .ml (Mali), I suppose it's also typoed to .il (Israel), but I imagine that worries the DoD less.

Nice contortion to talk about Israel negatively… I can guess the rest

FWIW that didn't read as particularly negatively. US and Israel are military allies, they would worry less about this sort of leak.

Israel used to be listed as an advanced persistent threat against the United States.

Israel conducts a large amount of spying on the USA and exports a large volume of military tech to China, but for domestic political reasons the DoD likes to ignore them as a threat.

Israel spies for its own interests, which, per US gov foreign policy, align with US interests. Similar to France and UK.

Israel’s interests wrt the US are complicated.

Israeli politicians campaign in the US. There’s a lot of mutual personal, commercial and government interests between the two countries that often are out of alignment with official positions.

France also has a complicated relationship and does more adversarial spying.

The USS Liberty incident is so often used as a boogeyman to make Israel seem overtly malicious to the USA. Often forgotten is that the day before the incident, the Israeli air force accidentally bombed one of their own infantry columns.

The surviving veterans of the ship don’t think the attack was an accident. This does not compare with the Air Force’s accidental fire on friendlies.

Any state based on racism and supremacist ideology and found and controlled by persons who were explicitly terrorists (likud descends directly from irgun etc) is a threat to not just the US but all of human kind...

But you can't really say that about Israel because they'll use the default antisemitism attack, alongside various dogwhistles to encourage harassment, until you are silenced.

Ed: a typo right after posting

That probably happens to some extent, but the .mil -> .il typo is easier to spot (in what is probably a list of addresses) than .mil -> .ml.
