Seriously, it's as simple as that. We are here to work, not philosophize about politics and current events.
Now it's politics they don't like and they want to close Pandora's box. I feel no pity for them or the fired employee.
This is why we have social norms to keep politics private.

Why would a big tech company be hosting an event with a state committing genocide? That (and working with said regime) is the problem, not people protesting. It's not possible to be a consumer brand and support Israel. The world is too divided and it's not getting any less so.
My old manager put it best: No politics and religion in the workplace. Seriously, it's as simple as that. We are here to work, not philosophize about politics and current events.

Just because something is done by most companies doesn't make it okay. Are mass layoffs "rightful" in any sense of that word?

Well google cloud can't power genocide, so what is your problem?

"Unsurprisingly so" I can get behind. But "rightfully" is a stretch I wouldn't agree with.
