    Google diversity head removed over anti-semitic post

    *"Google has removed its head of diversity over a 2007 blog post that said Jewish people had "an insatiable appetite for war and killing".

    In a post about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that resurfaced this week, Kamau Bobb also claimed Jewish people had an "insensitivity" to suffering.

    The post has now been deleted.

    On Thursday, a spokesperson for Google told the BBC that Mr Bobb would "no longer be part of our diversity team going forward"."*
    .

    .
    You'll notice that they didn't fire him.

    I was only joking

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Well the recent post is certainly disqualifying. 2007 who knows but people have been cancelled for less.

        I wonder why Google is not being challenged for not firing him since so many have lost their jobs for similar. Maybe there is a good answer.

            You misspelled "less."

              The progressive mob might be just a little bit anti-Semitic.

                    There is a long history of anti-Semitism on the right. And now, the left is also doing it. To claim otherwise would be foolish.

                          I don't actually believe the left is anti-Semitic in general. But when viewed through their favorite lens, where all ideas are squinted at until bigotry is revealed, they're anti-Semitic.
