Virtually all Israelis, both men and women, serve in the IDF from 18 to 21 years old. So the criticism is that Meta employs 100 Israelis out of its 74k US employees?

That's 0.1%. The Indians and Chinese immigrants cover a much larger percentage. Does that mean that Meta is controlled by India and China?

This is the opposite of innocent until proven guilty, it is up to the accuser to present evidence not the other way around.

No one is stating they are guilty, but serving in the IDF gives reasonable grounds to suspect someone could be involved in violations of human rights. This military's main task is to maintain an illegal occupation over millions of people. When you apply for a UK visa, for example, you do have to answer questions whether you were involved in war crimes, so it's pretty standard.

I think you are confused, the context of this conversation is hiring for companies, not a court hearing. This principle does not apply here. If they cannot reasonably convince they didn't abuse Palestinians, they just don't get considered, that's it.
