hold on someone was distributing stuff at work was told by HR to stop doing it and then kept putting up flyers and using work resources for political stuff and got fired?

Companies should not be surprised when they hire employees who behave exactly like they said they would.

Working with Israel is going to ultimately be a liability. Microsoft fired it's head of Israel division for helping Israel conduct mass survilence: https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/microsoft-fires-head... Firing someone for trying to stop the company from engaging in violations of international law (not to mention basic human values), is increasingly looking untenable.

So wait, there's this organization called Foxglove that has been "supporting" (financially? They certainly seem to have means) an employee that started distributing flyers and ... against Google by linking them to conflicts. Now they're supporting said employee suing Google? I mean, obviously they created this situation from the start ... why?
