Anti-Israel comments prompt Winston & Strawn to rescind NYU law student's job offer

[Jose Garcia]

Oct 10 (Reuters) - Law firm Winston & Strawn said on Tuesday that it had rescinded a job offer to a New York University law student who wrote in a student bar association online publication that "Israel bears full responsibility" for Hamas’ deadly attack in Israel.

The firm did not name the student, who it called a former summer associate. But a Monday online newsletter from the NYU Student Bar Association includes a message from SBA president Ryna Workman blaming Israel for the violence.

Workman, who uses the pronouns they/them online and whose now-deleted LinkedIn account previously listed them as a summer associate at Winston & Strawn, did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday.

In a statement, the firm said the former summer associate’s comments “profoundly conflict with Winston & Strawn’s values as a firm.”

6. In their column, they say, "I condemn the violence of collective punishment".

Yet blames the whole of Israel/the Israeli people for the deaths of Israelis and other people when Hamas attacked.

7. "Workman, who uses the pronouns they/them online"

Do they also blame the Palestinians when they get killed by Hamas for being lgbtq ?
