    That’s a different way of saying “TikTok appoints Israeli as its Hate Speech Manager.” IDF service is mandatory.

      Mandatory or not, a past committing genocide and being taught to see people of a certain nationality as inherently subhuman while going all in on DARVO gaslighting should still exclude you from being in charge of anything related to bigotry and hate speech.

        I agree. Is that the case with this person?

        I know a few ex-IDF soldiers. One served from 1967-69 in Records hunting down artwork stolen by the Nazis. Went on to become a professor who taught world literature. Left Israel in the 70s to live and work somewhere more multicultural. Still not someone I’d recommend for this position, but “ex-IDF” covers a lot of people, some of whom might be very qualified for the position.

      Right? Very politically charged title. Death to the IDF and all, but come on.
