Paddy Cosgrave, CEO and co-founder of Web Summit, an annual tech conference Web Summit, resigned from his post after his comments on the Israel-Hamas war.
Cosgrove wrote on X, “To repeat: War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies & should be called out for what they are. I will not relent.”
To repeat: War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies & should be called out for what they are.
I will not relent.

Initially, Cosgrove doubled down, calling his comments, “reasonable.”
.@amitkarp is a respected tech investor. But because he claims I “support the beheading of babies” he will never attend Web Summit.
