Bobb was already a member of Google&#8217;s computer science education team, a media consultant for Google told the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The decision follows calls from Jewish groups, such as the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Stand With Us, for Google to fire Bobb. Google broke its silence days after the <em>Free Beacon<\/em> reported Tuesday on a 2007 blog post in which Bobb claimed that Jews have an &#8220;insatiable appetite for war.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We unequivocally condemn the past writings by a member of our diversity team that are causing deep offense and pain to members of our Jewish community and our LGBTQ+ community. These writings are unquestionably hurtful,&#8221; said Google in the statement. &#8220;The author acknowledges this and has apologized. He will no longer be part of our diversity team going forward and will focus on his STEM work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bobb sent an email apology late Tuesday to a listserv of Jewish Google employees, known\u00a0within\u00a0the company as the &#8220;Jewglers,&#8221; saying his anti-Semitic tirade was &#8220;intended as a critique of particular military action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[T]he\u00a0world is leaving us all feeling unsafe and unsettled right now.\u00a0i certainly\u00a0don&#8217;t want to contribute to that,&#8221; he wrote.\u00a0&#8220;[N]one of this changes or excuses the words i wrote \u2013 but i am deeply sorry for them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In Bobb&#8217;s blog 2007 post, titled &#8220;If I Were a Jew,&#8221; he offered his thoughts on how Jews should view the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself,&#8221; he\u00a0wrote\u00a0in the Nov. 30, 2007, post on his personal blog, where he was still actively publishing as recently as April 2021. &#8220;Self defense is undoubtedly an instinct, but I would be afraid of my increasing insensitivity to the suffering [of] others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bobb appears to have deleted the blog post Thursday.
