Natasha Dach, an Apple employee, Apple employee who took to Instagram to condemn “Zionists” for being “murderers and thieves,” has been fired by the company.

Ariel Zilber for The New York Post:

The Post has sought comment from Dach, who has deleted her LinkedIn and Instagram accounts.

StopAntisemitism posted an image of Dach on its official X social media feed.

Several websites with photos that bear a resemblance to Dach indicate that she is a creative writer and information technology specialist based in Istanbul, Turkey.

The Post has sought comment from Apple.

Liora Rez, executive director of StopAntisemitism, told The Post that the group learned of Dach’s termination from a confidential source within the Cupertino, Calif.-based tech behemoth.


MacDailyNews Note: Apple CEO Tim Cook has been largely silent on the Israel-Hamas war.

Lydia Moynihan for The New York Post:

Apple and its CEO Tim Cook have been remarkably quiet when it comes to the Hamas attacks on Israel – and sources speculate it has something to do with China.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg condemned the Oct. 7 attacks as “pure evil.” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella posted he was “heartbroken by the horrific terrorist attacks.” Google CEO Sundar Pichai proclaimed his “stand against antisemitism.” Amazon CEO Andy Jassy on X called the attacks on Israel “shocking and painful.”

Meanwhile, Cook – who pulled Apple products out of Russia following the Ukraine invasion, posted an open letter on Apple’s website “speaking up on racism” and has told climate skeptics he doesn’t want them to hold Apple shares – has posted nothing on social media about Israel and Hamas since the attacks.

Indeed, the only public statement from Cook readily accessible online appears to be one he gave The Jerusalem Post earlier this week – and some tech insiders viewed it as relatively wishy-washy.

“I am deeply saddened by the devastating attacks in Israel and the tragic reports emerging from the region,” Cook told the newspaper in a statement published on Monday. “My heart goes out to the victims, the families who have lost their loved ones, and all those who suffer as a result of this violence.”

    1. Sounds like Natasha Dach has done her dash, and has dashed her hopes of ever working for Apple again. Well, it looks like she wasn’t afraid to dish it out, but she won’t be getting any more Apple dosh. Sad that this person seemingly prefers the philosophy of Daesh. Sad.

    2. The middle east has been a factory of sadness since before I was born. The cycle of violence doesn’t stop, fueled by the “eye for an eye” approach to good relations.

      As someone once said, if we live by “an eye for an eye”, eventually everyone goes blind.

        1. I think you misunderstand foreign policy, allies of the State of Israel, supporters of Israel, and Zionists.

          Zionists are an elected congress open only to Jews, voted by only Jews, to establish and support a Jewish state. The British who allowed the Jewish people to form a country were not Zionists. Allies of Israel are not Zionists. It is a uniquely Jewish organization and supporters who vote for it.

          The Biden administration generals who sent aircraft carriers to support Israel are not Zionists.

      1. A non-Jew can be zionist. A Jew can be a non-zionist. A zionist is someone who strives for or supports the idea of an independent Jewish state. I have been called a zionist numerous times.

        I remember two incidents that made me wonder about the true meaning of the word. In one case Stevie Wonder was giving a concert in Jamaica I believe and someone (I believe it was either Bob Marley or his son) slipped a t-shirt on Wonder that said “ZIONIST.” It was meant to be an insult.

        In another case Stevie Wonder was pressured by the LEFT to pull out of a concert in support of the IDF,

        Oddly in another case, Rodger Waters of Pink Floyd called upon Stevie Wonder to not accept an award being presented to him by Israel.

        During these times people constantly referred to Wonder as a Zionist. At the Jamaican concert, he was spat on.

    1. It was a clumsy and ignorant comment but no she is not a Nazi like the “stop hate” hate groups call all those who don’t obey them. Zionists are also much more than “a Jewish person who supports Israel”. These are Jewish supremacists who want total control over all of what is known as Palestine. To maintain the ethnic majority of their tribe they are willing to oppress, cast out or kill non-Jews.

  1. The irony of a person of proud German descent having the nerve to call Jews murderers and thieves, isn’t lost on me. Let’s get this one straight, we as humans live in a fallen world according to the Bible. And because of that ‘we’ all come from cultures consisting of murderers and thieves. Each culture and country if you go back far enough can find something it’s not proud of…especially Germany.

  2. CEO/companies should NOT be political!
    Tim Cook is RIGHT! His comment is neutral, humane! All sides are Victims! It is not population/civilians who are the criminals. Do not demonize entire people for it.
    The media/tech insiders (that COOK is “wishy-washy”) are brainless, shallow, bigots, pushing Tim to comment or take sides, most probably the side of 75-year invader/Oppressor israel, so are politically incorrect, though the correct news media stance is with israel, and they are pushing Tim into a corner, as another ceo influencer. Wishy-washy neutrality is the only way to Peace, once you stand for Humanity, not politics, not economical gains. The Palestine/Israel issue is too volatile, it is not the responsibility of companies to solve. The West has tried to solve the M.E. “Conflict” for 140+ years with zero results, even worse, clusterf’ with Total Destruction as a result of intervention. Certainly we have no right to judge anyone and push companies into politics.

    1. Yes, they invaded land historically theirs and oppressed people who have vowed to destroy them ONLY after repeated terrorist and military attacks.

      Apparently you don’t have much grasp of history, just hate and lies to white-wash your ignorance.
