A new lawsuit against Intel Corporation, filed by an ex-employee, paints a picture of a company which is distinctly anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli.

According the lawsuit:

  • One Intel Vice President (and multiple Intel employees) openly praised the murder of Israelis and Jews.
  • Intel responded to a Jewish Israeli employee having his family's home hit by a rocket from Hamas... by reassigning that Jewish employee to report directly to the Vice President who was praising rocket attacks against Israelis.
  • Intel fired that Jewish employee for complaining about working for a man who calls for the death of him and his family.
  • Intel replaces that Jew with another man who openly attacks Israel.

The Lunduke Journal has reached out to Intel for comment but, as this is an ongoing lawsuit, no response is expected.

You can read the entirety of the suit, but let's go through some of the high level points -- they paint a fairly horrifying picture of the upper level of management within the company.

 

John Doe v Intel Corporation

 

John Doe v. Intel Corporation

 

 

After the October 7th, 2023 attacks by Hamas -- including the murdering, beheading, and raping of men, women, and even babies within Israel -- an Intel executive (Alaa Badr, previously at VMWare) took to social media to proclaim his support for Hamas -- and his desire to see Jews and Israelis murdered.

This included "liking" and sharing numerous social media posts glorifying violence against Jews -- such as "Praise be to God, the trampling was done" with a boot on the neck of a Jew.

With other posts celebrating the burning of Israeli soldiers and declaring they would be "sent to hell".

Alaa Badr, Vice President of Customer Success out of the Seattle offices of Intel Corporation, is a prominent member of the Islamic Center of Bothell -- where he gives weekly lessons (halaqa), often discussing Jews and Israel.

According to the suit, Intel was made aware that Alaa Badr (a VP) was wishing death upon Israelis.  Badr's hatred of Israelis, according to the suit, was well known within the company.

 

Here's where the story gets truly insane.

 

The plaintiff in this lawsuit -- who is simply identified as "John Doe" -- is an Intel executive... who is a Jewish Israeli citizen, living in the USA, and a former member of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).  John Doe's family home, in Israel, was hit by rocket fire from Hamas, which nearly killed almost his entire family.

Intel HR and executives were made aware of that rocket strike on John Doe's family.

While that was happening, Vice President Alaa Badr was publicly praising the death of Israelis from the Hamas attacks.

Then, on January 29th, 2024, John Doe was reassigned... with Alaa Badr as his new boss.

This really and truly happened.  In response to a Jewish, Israeli employee of Intel having his family attacked -- with a rocket -- by Hamas... Intel Corporation, almost immediately responded by moving that Jewish employee to now work directly for a man who expresses his public hatred for Jews and Israelis... literally wishing death on them.

According to the suit:

 

"Badr was not shy about his antisemitic views even with John Doe himself.  Badr repeatedly pressured John Doe to tell him whether other Intel employees were Israeli. When John Doe confirmed that specific employees were Israeli, Badr sneered that there were 'so many Israeli employees in our company.'"

 

A formal complaint was filed regarding Badr with Abdul Jarrar -- Badr's boss, and an Intel VP who has been with the company for 26 years -- but no action was taken against Badr.

 

 

Which means that John Doe, according to the suit, "continued to report to a man who would like to see his family murdered.  Intel did literally nothing to protect John Doe."

At which point, John Doe -- the only Israeli on Badr's team -- was fired:

 

"Indeed, shortly after the aforementioned follow-up complaint, in March 2024, Badr viewed John Doe’s LinkedIn profile, which identifies John Doe as a former IDF soldier.  Just a few weeks later, on April 2, 2024, Jarrar informed John Doe that his employment was being terminated..."

 

Then, Intel hired the replacement of John Doe.

Who do they get to replace the Jewish man?

Another person who only expresses hate for Israel and support for Hamas.

 

"The unlawful motives behind John Doe’s termination could not have been more clear when, just weeks later, Badr and his supervisor, Jarrar, hired John Doe’s replacement: Mohamed Ahmed (“Ahmed”). Incredibly, Ahmed openly espoused the same anti-Israel sentiments as Badr."

 

Absolutely wild.

That's right.  Intel moved a Jew -- whose family was being hit by rockets from Hamas -- to work directly for an Intel VP who was praising those very same attacks.  Then, when the Jewish man complained even a tiny bit, Intel fired him and replaced him with someone else who hates Israel.

 

What is Intel doing?

 

Based on a quick search (including LinkedIn profiles), it would appear that both Mohamed Ahmed and Abdul Jarrar continue to work at Intel.

It is difficult to know if Alaa Badr continues to be employed by Intel as he has deleted his LinkedIn account entirely.

 

Alaa Badr's LinkedIn Profile

 

Just the same, Intel has made no mention of Alaa Badr being fired.  And, considering he is a Vice President... the lack of announcement suggests he is possibly still with Intel (at least in some capacity).

Now... it is standard practice for a company to not comment on active legal actions.  As such it is highly unlikely that we will hear anything from Intel regarding this.

That said, this is a very, very big deal.  One which Intel needs to get on top of very quickly.  Both privately and publicly.

Intel simply wouldn't be Intel without early Jewish employees.  Dov Frohman (who lost his parents in the Holocaust) is the inventor of the EPROM.  And, of course, Andy Grove (whose father was held captive and tortured in a Labor Camp by the Nazis) was one of the first employees of Intel (and eventually the CEO).

But has Intel changed?  Is Intel no longer a safe place to work for Jews or Israelis?

If even a portion of this lawsuit is accurate, it suggests exactly that.

And the ramifications for Intel employees, along with large portions of the Tech Industry, could be extreme.  At a time when Intel is already experiencing significant negative press -- including mass layoffs -- this is certainly not the kind of attention that the company needs.

The futility of Ad-Blockers

Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.

It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.

Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

New Lunduke Journal Sub Perks, Lifetime Price Increase Next Week

A quick update: There are some new perks for Lunduke Journal subscribers, and an upcoming price increase for new Lifetime Subscriptions (if you want one of those at the lower price, you have a couple days).

All the details below.

Lifetime Subscription Price Increase

This coming Friday (September 19th), the price of a new Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal will be increasing from $200 to $300. I wanted to give all of you a few days notice so you could grab one at the lower rate.

If you want to pick up a Lifetime Subscription for the lower price, simply grab one (via Locals, Substack, or Bitcoin) by Thursday night (Sep 18th).

The prices for new Yearly and Monthly subscriptions will remain the same. No changes.

Reminder: The Lunduke Journal has phased out sales and discount promotions. The current price of a subscription is the best price.

New Perks for Lunduke Journal Subscribers

I am working on adding a few new perks for Lunduke Journal subscribers — a way of saying “Thank You” for making this work possible (while still keeping all of the articles and shows free for the world).

Here are the perks as of today.

Perks for all Subscribers (Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime):

Note: The eBooks & Games are currently only available on Locals & Substack (due to platform features). Those perks will also become available to subscribers on X, YouTube, & Patreon next week. Stay tuned for access details.

Additional (Optional) Perks only for Lifetime Subscribers:

  • The Lunduke Journal will follow your account on X.

  • Your name (real, or internet handle) listed in a special thanks slide at the end of new Lunduke Journal videos.

Both of these perks are 100% optional.

If you are a Lifetime Subscriber, and would like to take advantage of either (or both), simply email “bryan at lunduke.com” with the subject line “Lifetime Perk” (that part is important, I get so many emails this will help me see yours) and include a link to your X profile and/or the way you want your name to appear at the end of videos.

One of the nice parts of having Lunduke Journal follow your X account… is it will make it far easier (and more likely) for me to see your comments.

Thank You

I am working to expand all of the regular perks (books, etc.) to subscribers across all platforms (which was a little tricky, considering the differences in each platform, but I managed to figure out how to do it) — while adding a few new ones as well.

Nothing crazy, just a way of saying “Thank You”.

Seriously.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support. The Lunduke Journal is only possible thanks to each and every one of you.

Lunduke's Week in Tech - Sep 13, 2025
Open Source Leftists Celebrate Murder, Censor Conservatives, and say "Free Software is White Supremacy".

So many stories this week about Leftist Activists, within Open Source and Big Tech, going absolutely insane.

From celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk to censoring Conservatives and even equating Free and Open Source Software with White Supremacy. And there’s more.

What’s truly crazy to me, is that most of these cases of Leftist insanity are from leaders within Open Source. These are the people running projects and representing companies.

Seriously. It’s wild.

Here are the stories of the week, presented in reverse chronological order.

All of these links are to Substack (where you can watch the video or listen to the audio podcast) — but all of these stories are available for free on every platform which The Lunduke Journal publishes to. Use whichever platform works for you.

Only The Lunduke Journal Told These Stories

This week I am reminded why The Lunduke Journal is important.

Over the last 7 days, we published 13 stories.

Of those 13 stories only 2 were covered by any other Tech News outlet. Two.

And, in both of those 2 stories, The Lunduke Journal is the only Tech News outlet that covered them accurately — and without a pro-Big-Tech, Left Wing bias.

If we didn’t exist, the other 11 stories wouldn’t get told at all. How crazy is that?

Thankfully the stories are spreading — with people seeing them over 9 million times last month alone.

If you want to be part of making The Lunduke Journal possible, consider becoming a subscriber. Lots of options, big and small. And all go directly towards daily operations.

Might I make a suggestion?

The Lifetime Subscription (which counts towards both Substack and Locals — and last for life) is a marvelous, one time, way to show support. And it comes with all of the perks (access to the Locals community as well as the official Lunduke Journal forum, & DRM-free eBooks).

You can snag a Lifetime Subscription via Locals, Substack, or with Bitcoin.

But, heck, any type of subscription (via any platform) is appreciated! Choose whichever works best for you!

Then be sure to go to Lunduke.com and choose the platforms which are the most convenient for you to use — The Lunduke Journal publishes all over the Inter-Tubes!

And, once again, thank you to every subscriber. This work is only possible because of you. You rule.
