"This complaint is not only the largest ever submitted to the ICC, but it is also a milestone in documenting Israeli war crimes for future generations."
Idk, if I was in a position to be hiring people and I saw “served in the IDF 2023/2024” in the job history section of a CV that’d probably count against a person the same as a conviction for rape or murder.
I doubt it ever will in Israel. Their military service is compulsory, so it just means you were a young adult who, when you were initially conscripted, didn’t jump through the hoops to get an exemption.
So if it was a case of “yeah I had to join because I was conscripted and it was the law but I just tried to keep my head down until it was over and didn’t do much there” then that’s one thing. Many countries like Ukraine also have compulsory military service, so it’s usually not held against you.
On the other hand, someone who is like “yeah I signed up as soon as I could so I could have a free hand in committing genocide” would almost certainly have a harder time landing that overseas job.

why would they put that on their CV though? oh right they’re fucking proud of this shit.
“how do you explain this gap in your job/education history here?”
I’ve had a lot of gaps, I literally just extend my last job out to current because I’m always on labour hire so I’m technically still employed.
So yeah, they would probably just lie on the CV rather than face the questions.

Makes it harder to get a job overseas though I’d hope

Unless you’ve got an absolutely stellar CV, I don’t see you getting a chance to explain that
