SAN FRANCISCO: Andrew Dudum, CEO and founder of telemedicine company Hims & Hers, wants to hire college students who are taking part in pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses.

“If you’re currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people and for your university’s divestment from Israel, keep going. It’s working,” Dudum posted on X. “There are plenty of companies and CEOs eager to hire you, regardless of university discipline.”

It's dumb and idiotic for the CEO of a publicly traded company to make such a brazen comment.

Showing support for people who are promoting violence against Jews? Brain-dead mob, mindless CEO. He may need to resign for HIM to have a chance.

We are experiencing a major societal shift. America wants to return to the 1940’s and 60’s.

I’m not sure everyone is onboard with that. 😳
 
When companies get political, they deserve to be boycotted.

What a fail. Someone goes to Columbia only to work at low level companies? That doesn’t sound smart. 😉

America was united and respected in the 40's. Not so much now. So there's that...
 
Agree that this is probably not a good way to raise investment capital.

Yeah, it's crazy. If the Palestinian people are so innocent, why don't they give up Hamas?.....it would all be over and fast. "Show the support of a terrorist organization, and I'll give you a job"......can't make this shite up.

Thanks for your candor. 😂

You're welcome.

I agree with that too. Promoting violence against Jewish people is actually much worse, of course.

The state of Israel isn't the Jewish people.

The inability to understand that is antisemitic.

You have yet to explain how you have come to this conclusion.

Perhaps when looking in a mirror alone, but explain it to the rest of us. 👍

No thanks bud.

Go ahead with your predictable response. My response to it will be that i don't care what you think.

Ok.. I'm glad we cleared that up. 👍

Your surrender is accepted.
 
Yeah, he should really know his audience of mediocre conservative men who need help getting it up.

Maybe it is only a conservative issue. Because the other side of the coin, liberal men, are all having sex changes.

Thinking that the protestors are promoting violence against Jewish people is a pretty brain dead take.

When you listen to their words: "death to Jews" that is the textbook definition of promoting violence.

Interesting recruiting tool. Also, I couldn't help but notice the CEO's last name looks comically close to "dumdum".

Seriously, though, I didn't see in Dudum's post he was promoting violence. Much good has been done in America's history via peaceful protest. The advancement of civil rights for gay and minority Americans, for example.

Protesting genocide is not just a product of the 40's and 60's.

How did that work out for Disney and Bud Light? It depends on the politics of the boycott. If you're protesting in favor of discrimination against gay people? That didn't work out so well for Pence in Indiana, remember?

RFRA: Why the 'religious freedom law' signed by Mike Pence was so controversial

Indiana's RFRA law focused the nation's attention on Mike Pence and raised concerns about LGBTQ rights.
www.indystar.com

Business leaders, such as Apple CEO Tim Cook, Eli Lilly and Co. CEO John Lechleiter, and Angie's List Co-founder and CEO Bill Oesterle took Indiana lawmakers to task and said RFRA would hurt their ability to recruit and retain world-class talent. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff led Twitter opposition to the law and threatened that the giant tech company would boycott the state. Oesterle blamed his cancellation of a planned $40 million headquarters expansion of his Indianapolis-based online ratings company on RFRA.

Celebrities, including pop star Rihanna, who was performing at a concert on April 4, 2015, at White River State Park in Indianapolis, also spat fiery words at Indiana and its leaders over the passage of RFRA.

This made Pence and the Indiana legislature back off and fix the law.
