It being only 100 seems kinda low for the size of Meta and how many Israelis live in the Bay Area. There is a very large contingent that lives in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale.

They’re nowhere near as large as the Chinese and Indian population but probably close to third place for largest foreign born tech worker populace in SV.

in what positions are these 100 ex IDF soldiers? Just some random frontend developers? Or overseeing community management?

All positions. I've worked with many devs to executives that all were from Israel and had served in the IDF.

Then it’s doubly critical. A tiny country having citizens in top positions in critical media companies suppressing any criticism of their governments conduct sounds like accusations we make against NK or Russia.

You might think: Well, what does that effect the world if a tiny country flattens an even tinier other region. Then have a look at how Netanyahu for decades pushed for US wars in the ME and is now pushing for the US starting a war against Iran.

You could say the same about all the Chinese and Indian people who are massively over-represented in these companies. Go into the FB Ads org and try to find a single all American team, lol. You'll have a hard time even finding one American to begin with.
