Based on the article there’s nothing random about it and it’s not just any citizen. They ask it of people who served on nations that have active conflicts. So basically, people who might have been in position to commit war crimes.
They are asking random Israelis.
This is of course ignoring Japan’s history and glorification of their war crimes which is ongoing.
There is no random israelis. Mandatory conscription is a thing there.
Did you not read the comment above you? They ask people who served in the military.
Israel has mandatory military service for all citizens so that’s probably why “randomly Israelis” may be screened. They’re ex-military.
It’s not random. It targets specifically individuals who recently served in a military which is accused of committing war crimes.
