Nearly 1,000 Apple employees sign letter calling on Tim Cook to issue statement supporting Palestinians
Business Insider ^ | 5/20/2021 | Tyler Sonnemaker

Nearly 1,000 Apple employees have signed an internal letter to CEO Tim Cook urging the company to issue a public statement in support of the Palestinian people, The Verge reported Thursday.

"We are frustrated and disappointed because once more, many of those in positions of power and influence - who boldly stand for human rights in so many other just causes - either choose to remain silent or release ineffectually neutral 'both sides' statements with regards to the Palestinian situation," wrote the letter's authors, who are members of the Apple Muslim Association, according to The Verge.

Apple taking a "both sides" approach, they wrote, "would feel to us as the equivalent of 'all lives matter' - a minimization of the disproportionately larger pain and suffering of the Palestinian people."

Apple did not respond to a request for comment on this story.

Devil Worshipin, Satanic Inspired, Kommunists with disconnected brain stems

There has never, throughout history, been a Palestinian or Palestine state, country or any other administrative state

Further, the myth of “Palestinian People “ is a political term

There is no historical reference to the So Called Palestinians until well into the 20th Century because they don’t exist

There is no Palestinian blood line or DNA

There is no Palestinian language

There are Palestinian artifacts in archeological records

There are no Palestinian achievements in science, medicine, architecture, etc

And on, and on.

In fact, their only contribution to history after 1968 has been suicide bombing, airplane hijacking, homemade rockets and the murder of children. No wonder so-called “Palestinians” are so popular with Arabs and Europeans.

Moreover:

PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein said in 1977 to the Dutch newspaper “ Trau” (March 31, 1977):
“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism. “

That's worth repeating:

Apple supports prison camps in communist China. If the terrorists in the mideast can assemble an iPhone I am sure he will support...

Brain-dead liberal hypocrites, especially the CEO...

Apple should show their support by launching 3000 iPhones on a ballistic trajectory towards the Gaza strip. Dueto their non-aerodynamic shape they may tumble a bit - like a used Chinese rocket booster stage.

These people constitute a “Hamas/Fatah/Islamic Jihad/ISIS” domestic threat and should be investigated, one at a time, for ties to those groups (financial, propaganda dissemination. and anti-Semitism).

But by “who” remains the question. FBI? NOPE. Too corrupt; State Police - Questionable. Local police - compromised by Apple where they live. Congress - You’ve got to be kidding!
