Andrew Dudum, CEO of Hims, a telehealth and online pharmacy, is "eager" to hire pro-Hamas protesters. 

Hims is known for suggestive ads. He founded the company in 2017. The company offers hair loss and erectile dysfunction treatments. Dudum is Palestinian-American. He has family in Gaza and the West Bank. He sides with the protestors on college campuses.

He shared a link to current job openings. He encouraged the protesters to apply.

Hims provides prescriptions for sexual performance and erectile dysfunction treatments, as well as medications for hair regrowth, weight loss, anxiety and skin treatment. The company rebranded as Hims & Hers after launching the Hers brand to sell birth control pills and medication to stimulate sexual desire in pre-menopausal women.

Are the protests working? The protesters cover their faces with masks so as not to be identified. Is that moral courage? Major corporations are on the record with statements that they will not hire antisemitic protesters who wish the destruction of Israel, the death of Jews, and the death of America on American soil. 

I admit that I don't understand what it is that success looks like for the protesters. Do they think they will pressure Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu into ending a war he did not begin but must finish? Hamas began the war on October 7, 2023, when it massacred Jews and others in Israel during a ceasefire. Does Dudum support the actions of Hamas? The protesters are ok with Hamas, some declare they are Hamas. Hamas is an internationally recognized terror group.

The protesters will not affect Netanyahu's moral clarity on the war for Israel's survival. They may bring more resolve from Netanyahu. Biden is waffling on his support for America's only loyal ally in the region, weakening the longtime bond between the United States and Israel. He is too blinded by his ambition to win re-election in November. Biden is too cowardly to risk offending Muslim Arab Americans in Dearborn, Michigan to boldly declare his support of Israel. Instead, he tries to micromanage Netanyahu's war plan. That takes cojones, considering what a failure Biden is with war and foreign policy. Look no further than his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Spare me the moral courage of these spoiled brats who cosplay terrorists. 

Many corporations declare they will expand their searches to hire new employees beyond Ivy League schools because of the antisemitic campus demonstrations. 

Reactions to Dudum's social media post criticized his opinion.

Joe Lonsdale co-founded software giant Palantir Technologies in 2003. He is currently the founder and managing partner of early-stage venture capital firm 8VC.

"Real moral courage doesn't involve joining a mindless mob, chanting anti-US and other woke pablum, following instructions not to debate or discuss your positions at all yet being indignantly righteous, while large numbers in the mob chant for violence and block Jewish students," Lonsdale wrote in response to Dudum's post.

This is why the protesters are covering their faces. They don't want to suffer consequences for their actions. They expect to carry on as normal when they go to look for employment. Such brave, brave wanna-be terrorists. Many will be smacked by reality.

Palantir co-founder and CEO Alex Karp has also criticized campus protesters and said in a December appearance on FOX Business Network's "The Claman Countdown" that the company supports "Western values" like transparency, fairness and protection of civil liberties.

"We must do better in the battlefield of ideas, and we have to protect the values that are near and dear to all of our hearts, or at least all of us that want a better and stronger world," Karp told host Liz Claman at the time. "And this new, thin and highly destructive religion whose vapors are being inhaled and kept in the lungs of our young elite students are dangerous to the world and dangerous to our society. And those of us, especially like myself, who are considered progressive – we must speak up."

Palantir launched an initiative in December to fight antisemitism.

Customers pointed out that playing politics is not good for business. 

Clever.

We'll see if his company gets the Bud Lite treatment. It's bad enough that he praises antisemitic protesters. Promoting the genocide trope is beyond the pale.
