An Amazon executive has appeared in a company video wearing a penchant shaped like a map of Israel emblazoned with the Palestinian flag, prompting some to call for a boycott of the tech behemoth.
Ruba Borno, vice president of Global Specialists and Partner Organizations for Amazon Web Services, was spotted donning the necklace in a video promoting a company conference in Las Vegas.
The map that was around Borno’s neck encompassed what is today Israel as well as the West Bank and Gaza Strip — territories that the Palestinians have demanded as the basis for an independent state
The symbolism of HATE has infuriated many, particularly as Amazon has remained largely silent over the abduction of one of its own employees on October 7, Sasha Troponov, who is still a Hamas hostage.
Borno, a Palestinian by birth, fled Kuwait with her parents during the first Gulf War in 1990. The family came to the United States, where Borno received advanced degrees in electrical engineering from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the University of Michigan.
