Subject: RE: BS: Hamas attacks Israel
There's an international tech gathering called the Web Summit that's been going for years, started and run by a man called Paddy Cosgrave. This week Cosgrave has resigned as CEO after multiple withdrawals from this year's summit by individuals such as actress Gillian Anderson and entities such as Intel, Siemens, Google, Meta and Amazon because of remarks he made about the Gaza invasion. What he tweeted was this: “War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are.” He added that he was “shocked at the rhetoric and actions of so many western leaders and governments, with the exception in particular of Ireland’s Government, who for once are doing the right thing”. In a subsequent post, he added the actions of Hamas were “outrageous and disgusting”.
