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. -

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.

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

I think there's no shortage of that on either side.

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.

You stated something that was blindingly obvious. I replied with something equally blindingly obvious. I think we're pretty much equal.

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.
