Stances on collaboration with Israeli institutions?

Just curious about what folks might be thinking regarding how they would or wouldn't collaborate with Israeli institutions, or their previous experiences.

For context, I'm working in a pretty computational, ML flavored field (US) and a current collaborator wants to bring in a group in Israel. I'm personally disgusted and appalled with the Israeli government's genocide and colonialism and the prospective collaborator university is thoroughly intertwined with this government and military. I haven't interacted with these specific possible collaborators, but they seem like regular people with pretty impressive CVs, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with them in many other cases, so maybe I'm being prejudicial and unfair?
