Intel resolves antisemitism lawsuit, case is dismissed
Feb 20, 2025 2:28 PM

NEW YORK, Feb 20 (Reuters) - A Jewish former employee of

Intel ( INTC ) has resolved his lawsuit accusing the chipmaker

of firing him after he complained about an openly antisemitic

supervisor, the former employee's lawyer said on Thursday.

Lawyers for Intel ( INTC ) and the anonymous plaintiff John Doe, a

former vice president of engineering and onetime Israel Defense

Forces soldier, dismissed the case in a joint filing in

Manhattan federal court.

Doe's legal team included the Anti-Defamation League, in

that group's first lawsuit against a major Fortune 500 company

targeting antisemitism in the workplace.

The dismissal is with prejudice, meaning the case cannot be

brought again.

In an email, Doe's lawyer Douglas Wigdor said "the matter

has been resolved." The ADL had no immediate comment. Intel ( INTC ), its

lawyers, and lawyers for other defendants did not immediately

respond to requests for comment.

According to the August 2024 complaint, Intel ( INTC ) fired Doe

last April in a purported cost-cutting move not long after

assigning him to report to Alaa Badr, vice president of customer

success and an Egyptian native.

Doe said he was uncomfortable working with Badr, citing

Badr's support for anti-Israel online posts, including posts

cheering deaths of Israelis and IDF soldiers, and complaining

about "so many Israeli employees in our company."

Intel ( INTC ), based in Santa Clara, California, has said it has a

longstanding culture of diversity and inclusion, and does not

tolerate hate speech.

Doe had asked to maintain his anonymity, because revealing

his name could lead to harassment and physical violence, but a

judge rejected that request in October.

The judge said the emotionally and politically charged

nature of the case, and risk of further discrimination, did not

overcome "the people's right to know who is using their courts."

Doe had been appealing that decision.

The case is Doe v Intel Corp ( INTC ) et al, U.S. District Court,

Southern District of New York, No. 24-06117.
