The Canceling of Anti-Semites Will Continue Until Morale Improves: Google and Meta pull out of Web Summit over Cosgrave's Israel-Hamas comments (Next Article is Amazon has pulled-out) :marseyxd:

https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2023/10/20/google-pulls-out-of-web-summit-over-cosgraves-israel-hamas-comments
Intel, Siemens and actor Gillian Anderson previously said they were withdrawing

Google and Facebook-owner Meta have become the latest tech giants to withdraw from this year's Web Summit, following comments made by chief executive Paddy Cosgrave on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Google was one of the event's sponsors, while Nick Clegg, Facebook's president of global affairs, was due to speak at the Lisbon event.

The departures were preceded by Intel and Siemens, who said on Thursday that they would no longer participate in the November gathering.

“We will no longer have a presence at Web Summit” Google said in a statement on Friday.

In a post a week ago on X, formerly known as Twitter, Mr Cosgrave said he was “shocked at the rhetoric and actions of so many western leaders & governments, with the exception in particular of Ireland's Government, who for once are doing the right thing. War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are.”...

That is all the research I am doing on this.

Some article I found about PR re:Israel/Palestine while trying to find a complete list of companies/figures who have pulled out

Pretty interesting article but here is a funny if you don't feel like reading it

Starbucks, which is among the companies on Sonnenfeld's list, has found itself embroiled in a dispute with the Workers United union after a union account tweeted “Solidarity with Palestine!” on Oct. 9. Starbucks sued the Workers United for trademark infringement for using its green logo in the tweet. Workers United, which said workers tweeted the message without union authorization, countersued Starbucks for defamation.

Google, Meta, Amazon, Siemens, Intel, Stripe, Orange Site

In this case it's because the Irish have a weirdo complex where because they suffered under colonization, they have to automatically and vocally side with any perceived underdog in any circumstances, regardless of details. It's one of their more annoying cultural quirks. :marseyira:

There's also the problem of Ireland :marseyira: hitching their wagon to Palestine :soyjihadi: because some of the activists there are absolutely convinced that the Israel/Palestine conflict mirrors the occupation of Ireland by the British.

This is what he said

In a post a week ago on X, formerly known as Twitter, Mr Cosgrave said he was “shocked at the rhetoric and actions of so many western leaders & governments, with the exception in particular of Ireland's Government, who for once are doing the right thing. War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are.”

Following his initial social media post, Mr Cosgrave later added the actions of Hamas were “outrageous and disgusting”.

In his apology earlier this week, Mr Cosgrave said he “unequivocally” supported Israel's right to defend itself.

“I understand that what I said, the timing of what I said, and the way it has been presented has caused profound hurt to many,” he said.

“What is needed at this time is compassion, and I did not convey that. Web Summit has a long history of partnership with Israel and its tech firms, and I am deeply regretful that those friends were hurt by any of what I said,” he said.

“Like so many figures globally, I also believe that, in defending itself, Israel should adhere to international law and the Geneva conventions,” he said.

“My aim is and always has been to strive for peace. Ultimately, I hope with all my heart that this can be achieved,” he said.

Mr Cosgrave said he wanted to reiterate that he unreservedly condemned Hamas' “evil, disgusting and monstrous October 7 attack”.

“I also call for the unconditional release of all hostages. As a parent, I sympathise deeply with the families of the victims of this appalling act, and mourn for all the innocent lives lost in this and other wars,” he said.

“I have always been anti-war and pro-international law. It is precisely at our darkest moments that we must try to uphold the principles that make us civilised,” he said.

Not particularly controversial imo.

But even the most milquetoast criticism is anti-semitic, of course.
