Without wanting to take a position here, the GP comment had a specific narrow point.
The claim was that Snyk was founded by Unit 8200 members.
Not that it had a few Israeli veterens, almost all Israeli's serve in the IDF after all.

To be fair I have a former Unit 8200 member in my larger extended family who left and has since been vocal in opposition to Netanyahu so membership in an elite Cyber Unit alone doesn't define a person.
That aside, most Governments would keep an eye on a company started by, say, former NSA employees and watch for covert activity under any overt actions.
