Seems like a good idea! If she wasn't happy there, find a new place to work. Win-win!

Would you have the same dismissive reply if the headline had been "company silences black/Jewish/LBGT voices?"

Maybe that's a fair comparison.

With no ill-intent I put forth: Would you say the same if the headline had been "company silences white male voices"?

The reason it could be perceived as a corollary is that Islam is a considerably dominant religion globally, the Palestinian fight is uniquely mired in religious ideology on both sides (even if there is definitely more to it than that).

Homosexuality is illegal in the Palestinian territories. As is abortion.

Well to be fair. Google does business in Saudi where there does not exist LGTBQ rights.

If I thought the claims were just as specious, yes.
