Tech giant Apple terminates employee for antisemitic Instagram post

Apple, the tech industry giant, has acted swiftly in response to a troubling incident involving one of its employees, Natasha Dach. Dach's employment was terminated after she posted offensive anti-Semitic content on social media. Her now-deleted post identified her as "a proud German" and included derogatory remarks targeting Jewish individuals, accusing them of being "murderers and thieves."

In the post, Dach stated, "For the few Zionists on my list that unfollowed me or plan to do, lol, u guys sometimes forget that I am a proud German. I know who you really are: murderers and thieves," as reported by StopAntisemitism, an organization dedicated to combating anti-Semitism.

Dach continued with more incendiary comments, alleging, "You sneak into countries, steal people's lives, jobs, homes, streets, push them, bully them, torture them. And when people act on it, you call it terrorism. You are doing this for generations. Invasion is the only thing you are capable of. You are the only terrorists, and history will note that this time!!"



StopAntisemitism also shared Dach's LinkedIn page, revealing her position at Apple as a Technical Specialist & Manager Apprentice. They shared on X, formerly Twitter, "Natasha Dach, an Apple employee, proudly states her German heritage and know-how of Jews: - sneaking in countries - stealing people's lives - torturing others. Horrifying @Apple."

In response to the public outcry, Dach subsequently deleted her Instagram and LinkedIn accounts.

StopAntisemitism later tweeted that Dach "is no longer an employee at Apple." Liora Rez, the executive director of StopAntisemitism, disclosed to The New York Post that their organization learned about Dach's termination from a confidential source within Apple.

Several Apple employees have expressed their views on the Israel-Hamas conflict, but CEO Tim Cook has opted to stay silent on the matter. In response, Apple's management has reportedly taken steps by shutting down internal Slack channels used by both Muslim and Jewish employees after they posted verses from the Quran and organized protests.
