It's odd this has been downvoted. There isn't anything factually incorrect. All statements have been proven.

Because it has nothing to do with the story, perhaps?

I would say it is relevant as it shows that the company are potentially being dishonest about their intentions and marketing.

It speaks to the credibility of the people involved when they claim to protect journalists.

Every Israeli is drafted when reaching adolescence age. Intelligent tech people end up in Unit 8200 (part of IDF). These young people end up with a plethora of experience, using it for their career or even security related startups, yet loyalty often lies with state of Israel.

The legal presence / country of a company very likely performing a genocide is very much relevant and ontopic. Look up the dark history of companies like IBM and IG Farben and the term "Wir haben es nicht gewußt".
