Short answer: No. As of August 2026, there is no public record of Jack Dorsey, the Twitter (now X) co-founder and current Block CEO, expressing support for Israel, donating to Israeli or Jewish causes, visiting Israel, or refusing to take part in a boycott of Israel. The public record instead shows him publicly backing pro-Palestinian campus protesters in spring 2024, criticizing the police response to those protests, and a history of friction with Jewish advocacy groups over how Twitter handled Hamas- and Hezbollah-linked accounts and Holocaust-denial content during his tenure as CEO.
What Jack Dorsey has actually said and done
January 2021: The Jewish civil-rights group End Jew Hatred protested outside Dorsey's California home, playing audio of Holocaust-denying tweets that Twitter had not removed, and accused him of inconsistent enforcement, quick to act on other categories of misinformation but slow on antisemitic content, according to The Jerusalem Post.
August 25, 2021: The Anti-Defamation League publicly asked Dorsey to remove Twitter accounts linked to the U.S.-designated terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, including Hamas's al-Aqsa TV account, which had more than 500,000 followers. The request followed an August 4, 2021 meeting where Twitter told the ADL the accounts had "not been found to violate" its guidelines, per Algemeiner.
April 30, 2024: NYPD officers, using an armored vehicle, cleared pro-Palestinian protesters occupying Columbia University's Hamilton Hall, part of a wave that night that led to more than 280 arrests at New York-area campuses, as reported by Mediaite.
May 1, 2024: Reacting to video of that raid the day before, Dorsey posted on X that militarized police responses like it had "been all over the country for over a decade," and endorsed a post comparing the Columbia protesters to Vietnam- and Iraq-war-era demonstrators. Mediaite and VCPost both described this as Dorsey siding with the anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian protesters and criticizing the police crackdown.
February 2026: Dorsey remained active and publicly visible as Block's CEO, announcing large AI-driven layoffs at the company. Coverage of that news from Fortune contained no Israel-related statements, consistent with a public focus that has stayed on business and technology rather than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The context behind the headlines
Jack Dorsey has no documented visits to Israel, no reported donations to Israeli or Jewish organizations, and no public boycott participation or refusal on record. His philanthropic vehicle, Start Small, has been reported by Inside Philanthropy to focus on areas like Bitcoin development (roughly $10 million to OpenSats in 2023 and about $21 million in 2024), girls' health and education, and general humanitarian causes. None of the grant reporting located mentions Israel or explicitly Jewish causes.
What exists instead is a pattern of friction with Jewish advocacy organizations dating back to his Twitter years: the ADL's 2021 push to remove Hamas- and Hezbollah-linked accounts, a request Twitter did not immediately act on, and the 2021 protest at his home over unremoved Holocaust-denial content. Separately, in the days after the April 30, 2024 clearing of the Hamilton Hall occupation at Columbia, Dorsey used X to criticize the police response and voice sympathy for the protesters generally, which several outlets characterized as support for the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel demonstrators. That episode is the specific source behind headlines describing Dorsey as backing anti-Israel protesters.
Some commentators went further and labeled him a Hamas supporter or worse, but those are third-party characterizations and opinion pieces, not statements Dorsey made himself. No reputable outlet found in this research documents Dorsey praising Hamas, endorsing the October 7 attacks, or making an antisemitic statement in his own words. His one direct on-record engagement came at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on October 29, 2020, when he was questioned about Twitter's handling of Israel-related content. Beyond that, no record was found of him addressing Israel's policies, its right to exist, or the war in Gaza outside the context of reacting to U.S. domestic protest coverage.
The bottom line
Jack Dorsey has not shown public support for Israel. There are no visits, no donations, and no pro-Israel statements on record, and there is one clear episode, his April 2024 reaction to the Columbia protest crackdown, where he sided with anti-Israel demonstrators against police. At the same time, the record does not support calling him an outright Hamas supporter or an explicitly anti-Israel activist; that goes beyond what he has actually said. The most accurate read is that Dorsey is not a supporter of Israel, and the closest thing to a documented position leans toward sympathy for pro-Palestinian protest movements in the U.S., without a personal statement on Israel itself.
