Presumably because every tech company hires people who have government cyber experience from any country. Why would one specific company ban anyone who was employed by one specific country?
because this country is committing genocide and entities are obligated under international law not to be complicit
Disclaimer: I haven't read the article yet — I'm just trying to get people to think. I get what you're saying, but there's another side to this: they are ex-IDF. Why did they leave? Not good enough pay, something else maybe. However, it's a strong possibility that some of them left due to disappointments with the IDF, for ideological reasons. We shouldn't shun people for where they worked, but rather check their integrity and competence. Who knows? They may be our greatest allies.
there's a growing refusenik movement in Israel. let's not act like they didn't have a choice in joining the SS
Which is why we ban people who left…?????
most ex-IOF, ex-CIA, etc. continue working in the military industrial complex and continue profiting from their reputations as war criminals to land prestigious jobs with obnoxious government contracts
They don't care and their customers also don't care.
Presumably because they have the qualifications they are looking for. Being good at hacking is very useful when it comes to cyber security.
Apple doesn't give a shit about their image, and hasn't for years.
If you've bought into the Apple ecosystem, you either like the products or you're subject to their hideous vendor lock-in, so you're probably going to buy more Apple products either way.
If you aren't by this point, you probably never will be, so why would they waste their money appealing to you?

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
