> People can be critical of the state of Israel Sadly the moment you call out Israel's human rights violations and ethnic cleansing you get automatically branded as antisemitic on all major social media and by most mainstream outlets too.
You must be on a different social media outlet than I am.

As I said, Israel conflates being a Jew with the state of Israel. And as such, people associate Israel with Judaism. That’s not offensive if it’s by design. You can’t have your cake and eat it to. Israel is an apartheid state.

I would find it increasingly difficult to reconcile the long cycles of oppression that Jewish people have endured and the insatiable appetite for vengeful violence that Israel, my homeland, has now acquired.

This is the only instance relating to offensive social media I've ever heard of where someone got reassigned and not fired
Examples of people getting reassigned and not fired: https://www.clickorlando.com/news/2018/12/20/orlando-officer... https://www.wtxl.com/news/local-news/assistant-principal-at-... https://www.wgvunews.org/post/black-detroit-police-officer-r... https://www.kwtx.com/content/news/Waco-ISD-hires-teacher-who... https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/07/16/sheriffs-chief-of-sta...

The popular understanding of Jewish in America is Ashkenazi

Yes, but the average American also thinks of an Ashkenazi Jew when they think of a Jew, and has no idea that Sephardim & mizrahim even exist, even if they don't know the words for any of it.
My point is we are a long way away from that, despite how many Ashkenazi Jews live in the US.
Slightly shocking that he didn't get fired. (yet?) They fired Damore for writing an email that was tone-deaf, insensitive, but largely supported by research. Bobb goes on a clearly antisemitic rant, and just gets reassigned. Is Google inconsistent, or has their policy on how to deal with these things changed over the past few years?
A blog post from 13 years ago.. which has since been removed.. is different from an email sent internally. Hopefully nobody will hold me accountable to all the slashdot comments I wrote 10-15 years ago. Taken out of context, I've probably made fantastically horrific statements too.
Kind of hard to claim diversity matters when you install a demonstrable racist at the top.
Who else is he discriminating against that we just haven't found yet?
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a lot of consistency in peoples' views on these two closely related incidents. Why?

>Is Google inconsistent, or has their policy on how to deal with these things changed over the past few years? Simple explanation is Google's Democrat-leaning leadership are more aligned with Bobb than Damore (in the US, the left are generally anti-Israel while the right support it, and the left are pro-affirmative-action while the right oppose it).
