Shira Anderson, an American international rights lawyer, is Meta’s AI policy chief who voluntarily enlisted for the IDF in 2009 under a program which enables non-Israeli Jews who aren’t eligible for military conscription to join the Israeli army.
With AI a critical emerging technology for tech giants and militaries, Anderson’s role at Meta is an important one. She develops the legal guidance, policies and public relations talking points concerning AI issues and regulation for all of Meta’s key areas, including its product, public policy and government affairs teams.
At Meta, Anderson, who is based in Meta’s Washington DC office, is in familiar company. More than one hundred former Israeli spies and IDF soldiers are employed by the company, my new investigation shows, many of whom worked for Israel’s spy agency Unit 8200.
Yes all occupiers are valid military targets but keep in mind that
No not all people from Israel are “valid military targets”. Wtf.
That is what mandatory conscription leads to. All Israelis except for the very few who refuse service are trained soldiers with direct ties to the army. All those reservists are now participating in the genocide.

Good thing that nobody is saying that and limiting their rhetoric to armed forces occupying Palestine.
Short memory?
Can you quote the part where it says “kill all the Jews”? You are changing topic.
You mean the part where you say that all ex-IDF are valid military targets? Look up a couple steps.
All IDF reservists occupying Palestine are valid military targets.
Can you explain what this has to do with Judaism?
You understand that you’re effectively arguing for targeting Israeli civilians with violence and advocating for genocide. You’re explicitly endorsing terrorism
I am not endorsing Israel nor violence against civilians. I am endorsing the right of Palestinian armed resistance against occupation soldiers
You’re advocating for violence against civilians
No I very clearly said IDF soldiers.
Active duty IDF soldiers? Or former IDF soldiers; because you’re trying to “out” former military Israeli civilians who happen to work for facebook.
Do you believe that it is right to target any former member of the Israeli military, who is now a civilian, with violence?
The term reservist means the Israeli army can actively summon them for combat. As Israel has done for the genocide in Gaza.
Unless these soldiers decide to leave occupied Palestine they are not ex-soldiers because they are actively occupying and can be summoned for combat.
If you are talking about the ex-IDF soldiers at Facebook, they are not valid military targets if they are not occupying Palestine. Though they should face a court of law if they are using their position for Israel.
Attacking reservists who are not activated violates the Geneva Convention and is nearly universally considered - including by Palestine, which has signed the Geneva Convention - to be a war crime.
This includes civilians - which deactivated reservists are - in occupied areas.
Ukraine is similarly not allowed to attack occupying Russians in Crimea who moved there after 2014, despite the fact all male Russians had military service.
Israel uses the exact same argumentation to kill “combat-aged” men - that is to say, male Palestinians who look 14 or older.
Also, being an occupying civilian during a conflict does not allow an opposing party to arrest them. They are afforded various protections, especially by the 4th Geneva Comvention.
You should look up why the UN does not classify Hamas as a terrorist organisation and educate yourself on the right of armed resistance for people under occupation.
What Israel says is irrelevant. They are the occupier and have no right to anything except moving out of Palestine as soon as possible.
