    It’s probably just an antimalware bot going wild. An unlucky filter somewhere matching “israel” (i had to regex-process invoices once, same shit), blown out of proportion by the culture of outrage doing it’s thing.

    But now that Google is forced to admit to one side, they will probably prefer to say nothing and just take the blame. It will be forgotten in a month anyway.
