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.

    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.

    Now maybe they didn’t say ‘go out in the world and hunt down people of the Jewish faith across the globe for eradication’ but when you say ‘All Israelis’ and unless I’m mistaken the principal population of the state there is ethnic Jews, then it’s not a big step. When you have a mandatory conscription state, and you say kill all the people who served in the military of said state (they are all valid military targets) then you are advocating for the ethnic cleansing of a population.
