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.

    I said soldiers occupying Palestine. Not “Jews across the world”.

    The religion of the occupying soldiers does not hold any relevance to their status as valid military targets.

    Israel is Jewish in the same way ISIS is Islamic. Only when nitpicking things which are convenient to them. Such as genocide.

      Who said religion? The principal population of the state is ethnic Jews. Or is your ethnicity switchable at will? Declaring that the population of a state should be killed is wrong regardless of the location, conscription laws or voluntary be damned.
