When I was at Google, Google was systematically silencing Arabs and Palestinians. They had brought in a specific team to comb through memegen and silence any pro-Palestinian (literally pro the people, while anti Hamas) messaging.
While I was there, multiple Googlers actively reached out to me and other Arabs and asked them "Do you support Hamas?" These also weren't just low-level employees either. I had these experiences from software developers all the way to managers and HR people.
These employees that did that are still employed at Google despite the complaints. Multiple Arab and Palestianian coworkers of mine have also left Google since then.

- aaomidi 3y agoNo one was supporting Hamas. Again, read the initial message. (I'm just going to flag anyone who keeps actively misreading this at this point.)
- krapp 3y agoProtesting Israel is not equivalent to supporting Hamas. Plenty of Jews are doing the same, how many Hamas supporters do you believe are among them?
