The sick world we live in: #PaddyCosgrave tweeted about the situation in #Gaza '...war crimes are #warcrimes...' making the point that killing people, civilians is wrong.

This amounted to 'anti-Israeli comments' (Google and two other Big Tech entities) threatened to pull out of a tech conference because of the tweet.

Cosgrave apologised and resigned.

Didnt see the full tweet, but if the tweet was about how there shouldnt be violence towards civilians, incl Palestinians, I dont know why Cosgrave gave in.

Web Summit CEO and co-founder Paddy Cosgrave resigned on Saturday following blowback for comments he made about the Hamas-Israel war. Axios tells us more: https://flip.it/hs647S
