A new lawsuit claims that Intel fired an Israeli software engineer after he reported that his manager liked posts on social networks that cheer on the death of Israelis and glorify Hamas terrorists, according to the New York Post.
According to the lawsuit, Alaa Bader, Intel's vice president for customer satisfaction, liked a number of posts on the X, praising the killing of IDF soldiers by Hamas. Among other things, an illustration of a member of the Palestinian terrorist organization stepping on the neck of a lying Israeli soldier lying on the ground.
The New York Post reported that Bader's alleged support of violent anti-Israel rhetoric was "particularly troubling" for the Israeli engineer, a former IDF soldier whose family still lives in Israel and was almost fatally injured when a Hamas missile hit the building where they live in February.
According to the lawsuit , Intel turned a blind eye on Bader's disturbing activity on social networks after it was reported at the end of 2023, and even appointed Bader to be the direct manager of the Israeli engineer in the Manhattan office in January 2024.
