On the irony of Ashkenazi Jews using "looking European" as a rhetorical weapon against Palestinians [apropos of #Wix's "unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans,"] meet Esther Schreiber, non-archaeologist with inflated CV and an elaborate cloth headscarf resembling a tea towel (a "tichel")... This one was appointed by Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu to lead the Israel Antiquities Authority. Eliyahu also advanced a bill to create a "Judea and Samaria Heritage Authority" for occupied West Bank, replacing military archaeology officer, with land expropriation powers in Areas A+B+C. Eliyahu said it's "an interim stage until full sovereignty."

Why is #Wix crushing?
In October 2023, Wix's Dublin office (~500 employees) was at the center of a major scandal. They created an internal Slack channel called "supporting-Israel-narrative" encouraging staff to create videos/campaigns to "support Israel's narrative" after Oct 7. Posts told employees to "show Westernity" because "unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans". Staff were advised not to focus on death counts because "the number of deaths and bombings in Gaza will be significantly higher". Wix fired Irish employee Courtney Carey (26) after she called Israel a "terrorist state" on LinkedIn.
