I'm sad to see Intercom/Fin's CEO, Eoghan McCabe, did not face repercussions after credible allegations about sexually harassing his employees came out in The Information in 2019. docs.google.com/document/d/1... Some quotes from the article to follow.

I previously tweeted about this and McCabe threatened to sue me

Cached copy of the article here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

"Four former Intercom employees, including Schuur, also said the woman told them of the advances, which she said were unwanted."

"Mr. McCabe, through an Intercom spokesperson, declined to be interviewed for this story, but said in a statement: "In the early years of the company I demonstrated some poor judgment. I apologized at the time [...]""

"Two former Intercom employees present for the harassment training seminar said Mr. McCabe didn’t attend."

"At an Intercom party around 2014, Schuur said she witnessed Mr. McCabe slap the saleswoman’s buttocks. At a different event around that time, another former employee said she saw the Intercom CEO place his hand on the same woman’s thigh."

"During the meeting, Schuur said she told Mr. McCabe that his behavior was inappropriate. The Intercom CEO cried during the meeting and said that he hadn’t realized there was a power imbalance between himself and the young woman, Schuur said."

"“I felt like I was just a guy at a party and she was just a girl,” Mr. McCabe said, according to Schuur."

"When the woman said she, too, wanted to go home, McCabe told her that he wanted her to remain, the people said. After the other two employees had left, Mr. McCabe made a lewd remark to the saleswoman and said that he would like to sleep with her, the people said. She declined and eventually left."

middleeastmonitor.comIsraeli fundraising platform ‘rebranding as American’ to dodge boycotts over genocide...

mintpressnews.comRevealed: The Former Israeli Spies Working in Top Jobs at Google, Facebook and MicrosoftHundreds of agents from Israeli spying organization Unit 8200 are now employed in top roles at Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon.

Microsoft just cleaned house in Microsoft Israel. They fired the GM, as well as several other managers. Why? The initial Guardian article explains it: Microsoft believed MS Israel employees lied to Microsoft out of loyalty to their military. Which tracks.

Read more about how big tech hires Israeli spies www.mintpressnews.com/revealed-for... www.mintpressnews.com/apple-israel... www.mintpressnews.com/288710-tikto...

Here's the PCGamer article about firing of the head of Microsoft Israel and other executives www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

pcgamer.compcgamer.com

Relatedly, when is Microsoft going to investigate how their subsidiary LinkedIn's Chief Product Officer Tomer Cohen worked with Israeli employees to systematically suppress posts critical of Israel on LinkedIn.

theguardian.comMicrosoft investigates Israeli military’s use of Azure cloud storageConcerns that tech company’s Israel-based staff may have concealed key details of work follow Guardian investigation

Microsoft needs to shut down Microsoft Israel and fire every Israeli asset at the company, as should any company with "former" Israel soldiers on staff.

This is the result of an investigation into how Israel's mass surveillance against Palestinians using Azure servers sparked by the Guardian www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Israeli employees in tech companies are mostly "former" spies from Unit 8200. We have heard dozens of instances of Israeli employees running propaganda campaigns inside companies and weaponizing company resources to support Israel and suppress Palestine.

I want to show you how Israeli companies are pretending to be American to escape the shame of the Israel brand. IsraelGives is trying to pretend to be a different company called GivingTech, and they even told our partner that they were a separate US company! They are not, receipts attached.

Of course, it's not just that - IsraelGives is an evil organization. Here they are raising money for Israeli soldiers committing a genocide.

This is part of a trend of Israeli companies trying to rebrand their way out of genocide, occupation and boycotts.

Dig deeper into the tech, and the IsraelGives website loads called givingtech.css (I thought they were a separate company!), which has an identical hash to the GivingTech one.

Another smoking gun: they both use the same Google Analytics and Clarity IDs

On LinkedIn, the company is listed as headquartered in Tel Aviv. You can also see that IsraelGives and DAFtech (a product whose page linked to GivingTech) use the same logo, and that logo was also the favicon in the screenshots above.

But if all of that somehow doesn't convince you, check the websites. They are nigh identical!

Firstly, we found this because we were evaluating a partner and they used a site called secureddonation.com. After we put a small donation through it, the new website's title became "IsraelGives". But actually we had a clue before: the donation form had the IsraelGives logo on it

Once we started probing, the commonalities were everywhere. Both organizations have the same CEO, working concurrently for both companies for the last 4 years.
