Google’s head of diversity strategy said in a 2007 blog post that Jews have an “insatiable appetite for war” and an “insensitivity to the suffering [of] others.” The comments were part of a longer meditation from Kamau Bobb, now head of diversity strategy at Google, that also slammed Israel’s military actions in Gaza and Lebanon that same year.
Bobb was at the time a research associate in technology at Georgia Tech, according to his LinkedIn. The post, titled “If I Were A Jew,” described how he believed Jewish people should view the Middle East conflict.
“If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself,” he wrote in a Nov. 30, 2007, post on his personal blog, where he was still actively publishing as recently as April 2021. “Self defense is undoubtedly an instinct, but I would be afraid of my increasing insensitivity to the suffering [of] others.” The blog features commentary from Bobb on a wide range of issues, including racial equality, U.S. politics, and education policy.
Bobb identifies himself as a Google employee in his blog’s biography section.
Google and Bobb did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The post is likely to cast a new light on Google’s diversity strategy in the wake of demands from a group of employees that the company cancel its business contracts in Israel and publicly condemn Israel’s military defense operations in Gaza. While Google has been a vocal supporter of diversity initiatives—the company released a statement about its “commitments to racial equity” in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests last year—it has not commented on the recent spike in anti-Semitic hate crimes.
Bobb’s blog post was heavily critical of the Israeli government and argued that Jews should be “tormented” by the country’s actions.
“If I were a Jew today, my sensibilities would be tormented,” he wrote. “I would find it increasingly difficult to reconcile the long cycles of oppression that Jewish people have endured and the insatiable appetite for vengeful violence that Israel, my homeland, has now acquired.”
Bobb wrote that the history of Jewish suffering, particularly the Holocaust, should theoretically provide Jews with more “human compassion.”
“I don’t know how I would reconcile that identity with the behavior of fundamentalist Jewish extremists or of Israel as a nation. The details would confuse me. I wouldn’t understand those who suggest that bombing Lebanon, slaughtering Lebanese people and largely destroying Beirut in retaliation for the capture of a few soldiers is justified,” he wrote.
“I wouldn’t understand the notion of collective punishment, cutting off gas, electricity and water from residents in Gaza because they are attacking Israel who is fighting against them. It would be unconscionable to me to watch Israeli tanks donning the Star of David rumbling through Ramallah destroying buildings and breaking the glass,” he wrote.
Noting that it was the 79th anniversary of Kristallnacht, Bobb wrote that this should lead Jews to oppose violence—but instead, he claimed, they embrace it.
“My reflections on Kristallnacht would lead me to feel that these are precisely the human sentiments that I as Jew would understand; that I ought to understand and feel compelled to help alleviate,” he wrote. “It cannot be that the sum total of a history of suffering and slaughter places such a premium on my identity that I would be willing to damn others in defense of it.”

Diverse but not that diverse. Talk the talk but not walk the walk.
That’s not diverse, that’s diverge.
“Bobb wrote that the history of Jewish suffering, particularly the Holocaust, should theoretically provide Jews with more “human compassion.”
I agree, the senseless, gratuitous bombing and killing of innocent women and children murdered by the Israeli military does indeed raise a big question why Jews would behave this way if they really did lose 6 million of their own in WWII.
“We Jews, the destroyers, will remain the destroyers forever. Nothing the Gentiles do will meet our needs, our demands. We want a world of our own.” Maurice Samuel in his book “You Gentiles.”
Jews suffer from a terrible envy of others. They lack the freedom, the love of Nature and the Sacred that human beings have.
According to Buddhism there are realms occupied by different kinds of beings.
There is the god realm where they are so comfortable – and arrogant – that they do not feel any need to seek Enlightenment.
Beneath them is the Jealous god realm – those suffer from envy, and they too do not feel the need to seek enlightenment
Then there is the human realm – which is immensely difficult to attain, and very rare indeed. There there is a longing for enlightenment.
Below the human realm is the animal realm where the beings ignore the idea of enlightenment – below them are the hell beings who are too unhappy and in too much pain to be able to even think about enlightenment.
To be reborn into the human realm is so rare that it is like being a turtle living at the bottom of an immensely vast ocean and the turtle surfaces once in a million or billion years and happens to put hjs head through a single ring of a buoy which happens to be floating there at that very moment.
So; best not waste a precious human life while you have it!
And pity the Jews sho are so tormented. Their mothers go on at them from birth about how the rest of the world hates them!!!
They feel inferior envious and it makes them extremely cruel and vindictive. Consider what they did to Russia.
The like to creat wars because they want to destroy – as cruelly as possible.
Oh no, it looks like one of the Jew’s Negro-mongrel tools said something they don’t like..in spite of all the anti-white ‘diversity’ work & propaganda he’s done for them over the years..
….as long as someone else fights the wars for Israel. And their banks

a murder-free world IS coming
telling the truth without using vitriol is probably the best way to go

What he said is almost a platitude and gives credence to the lie-whinge of Kristalnacht and Hollocks.
What is this, if not another advertisement for jewish control over society.
It’s another own goal for jewry, another notch on the stick of hatred of jews.
@ astraea, sammaels also said in that book re gentiles, is there nothing that you won,t believe
enlightenment by whatever means is what we all should be striving for, from reading the hindu legends
in the rig veda to the viking legends , to listening to thought calming mantras while reading pre history
and archaeology , yes any way yours was a great comment very good description of the evil ones also
