Folks, this is an indicted war criminal, who is committing an internationally recognized genocide. And Vercel CEO is shaking his hand and supporting him.

I feel like I'm losing my mind here.

There’s supporting Netanyahu.

Then there’s taking a selfie with Netanyahu.

Then there’s posting said selfie for the world to know.

What the f man.

You can be an incredible entrepreneur(or anything really) and a terrible human being. Please remember this before idolising people outright solely because of their achievements.

I am confused about how this photo exists. If I were a CEO, regardless of my politics, the last thing I would do would be to post a photo with somebody that controversial. It's a situation that one can only lose from: one side might feel mildly positive about it, the other side will hate your guts. And the side that hates this guy is surely a much larger portion of Vercel's customer base. It doesn't take a genius to gauge public perception of a world figure in your key market (US & other western countries).

They need a publicist, bad, to control this guy.
