They're probably quite surprised that they're getting fired. Opposing colonialism was safe politics at Google until Israel started colonizing/raping/genociding Gaza.
- edanm 3y agoThat's a pretty big, and IMO false, accusation to throw at Israel. Unlike abstract "opposing colonialism", which I assume lots of people would get behind, I assume others, like me, find the specific case against Israel to be completely different in many relevant ways.
- octopoc 3y agoThat is one of the main accusations against Israel among protesters. Do you see how people who believe Israel's actions are colonial in nature might not understand that they would be fired for continuing their long-supported stand against colonialism?
