A Google executive has left the company after publishing a manifesto in which he admitted to previously being anti-Semitic — but claimed to no longer hate Jews.
“I wanted to share that today is Amr Awadallah’s last day at Google,” Eyal Manor, Google Cloud vice president of engineering and product, wrote Thursday in an email to staff, which was viewed by CNBC. “Effective immediately, the Cloud DevRel organization will report into Ben Jackson, who will report into Pali Bhat.”
The announcement comes about a month after Awadallah, who joined the company in 2019 and was the vice president of developer relations for Google Cloud, published a 10,000-word manifesto on LinkedIn that began, “I hated the Jewish people, all the Jewish people! and emphasis here is on the past tense.”
Elsewhere in the manifesto, Awadallah shared his 23andMe results, which showed he was 0.1 percent Ashkenazi Jewish, which he emphasized in boldface font.
Awadallah also recounts in the manifesto how he was “very cautious” of VMware co-founder Mendel Rosenblum because of his last name. Awadallah added that he later came to appreciate him and even described Rosenblum as his “first ‘Jewish angel.’”
