Stripe is a Statesian-Irish digital payments processor co-founded by Irish brothers Jack and Patrick Collison in 2010.
In November 2024, a year into the genocide in Gaza, Patrick Collison posted a picture on Twitter with the caption "Great to be back in Tel Aviv. I missed this run."[1] complete with a flag of the zionist entity visible in the picture. Prior to this comment, Patrick had visited the West Bank some time in the past[2] and even gave a talk there.[3]
In response to the November post on Twitter, calls were made on social media to boycott Stripe.[4]
