  • I don't find this to be very credible sounding.

    It tells you some numbers as though they are supposed to sound high but there is nothing for comparison. For one thing, of course a lot of people who work in a tel aviv office are ex IDF. Israel has conscription and israel is a theocratic apartheid state... I'd expect ex-IDF are well represented at any professional job in tel aviv. Who else would work there?

    Then it gives this weird list of names. Why are they screenshots of word documents? Why are they screenshots at all? Such a strange way to to present information. Here's one:

    There are 72 names attributed to US locations and 49 to tel aviv. I tried to find out how many workers facebook has in the US. I keep finding it has about 74k; I think that's global. This page says there are 13k in North America. This slightly older page says 23.4k in US. Assume the lower (13k) that gives 0.55% of total. Is that much of an over representation? How many former military/intelligence people generally are working at meta? How much mil/removedare working at other tech companies, and how many ex IDF?

    Since we have no context against which to compare, the reader is left to themselves to fill in the blanks. Insinuation and nothing more.

    This is in "news". What is the news?
