Why does Apple hire ex-IFD cyber folks, how is that good for their image and the rumors about Israeli involvement or hacking and all the Israeli hacking stuff like Pegasus?
Presumably because every tech company hires people who have government cyber experience from any country. Why would one specific company ban anyone who was employed by one specific country?
Disclaimer: I haven't read the article yet — I'm just trying to get people to think.
I get what you're saying, but there's another side to this: they are ex-IDF. Why did they leave? Not good enough pay, something else maybe. However, it's a strong possibility that some of them left due to disappointments with the IDF, for ideological reasons. We shouldn't shun people for where they worked, but rather check their integrity and competence. Who knows? They may be our greatest allies.
most ex-IOF, ex-CIA, etc. continue working in the military industrial complex and continue profiting from their reputations as war criminals to land prestigious jobs with obnoxious government contracts

because this country is committing genocide and entities are obligated under international law not to be complicit

They don't care and their customers also don't care.

Presumably because they have the qualifications they are looking for. Being good at hacking is very useful when it comes to cyber security.
