Ireland: Fears of "chilling effect" after Wix fires worker over pro-Palestine comments; Incl. Co. comment

"Irish woman sacked by Israeli company over comments about war should seek advice, says PM"

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said a woman who was fired by an Israeli company for her comments about the Israel-Gaza war should seek legal advice if her dismissal was a result of her political views.

Courtney Carey was sacked from her role as a customer care team lead at Israeli tech company Wix, which employs 500 people in Dublin, after posting on LinkedIn the messages "Free Palestine" and "Israel is a terrorist state".

She later said she condemned all forms of terrorism, regardless of the perpetrator or victim.

The president of the Israeli software company said it decided to "part ways" with Ms Carey.

"Wix is a global company, it is an open and a liberal company. We would never try to limit anyone's political views, we do however also hold a strong set of internal values about our team spirit, partnership and friendship," Nir Zohar said.

"These accusations in such troubling times not only harm our Israeli team's spirit, they also threaten the great connection between our Dublin offices with our 500 team members and their Israeli colleagues."...

Speaking in the Dail, the lower house of the Irish parliament, Solidarity TD Mick Barry raised Ms Carey’s dismissal, saying: "She commented online about what she described correctly as the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza. She was fired from her job for doing so. I am calling on the Irish Congress of Trade Unions to speak out on this case.

"It could have a chilling effect on thousands of workers in this country who wish to speak out against a brutal war. It also creates a terrible precedent whereby workers can be fired for expressing a political point of view."

People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett told the Dail that the case was "particularly disturbing"...
