   Web Summit CEO was forced to resign over this tweet:

   “shocked at the rhetoric & actions of so many Western leaders & governments, with the exception...of Ireland’s government, who for once are doing the right thing."

   “War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, & should be called out for what they are,”

   The fascism of the tech industry knows no bounds. Anything other than aiding & abetting a world sanctioned genocide is not acceptable apparently.

     @bp @timnitGebru There was so much you could've used for criticism and you settled with ad hominem and calling a black woman nazi. How pitiful.

     "The assurances come amid fears over the future of the company as Amazon joined Google, Meta, Intel, Stripe & dozens of senior technology executives in withdrawing from the...conference...over remarks made by CEO Paddy Cosgrave about Israel"

     This is not new. Tech companies have ALWAYS aided and abetted apartheid and genocide. This is just a continuation of history.
