Katy Perry chose to perform for Israeli Wiz employees - and sparked outrage online

Israeli cybersecurity company Wiz flew its employees to a luxury vacation in Thailand, where Katy Perry surprised them with a private performance estimated to cost $3-4 million. The performance sparked criticism online.

Israeli cybersecurity company Wiz, which was sold to Google for $32 billion, flew its employees to a five-day vacation at a luxury resort on Khao Lak island in Thailand. At the peak of the vacation, pop star Katy Perry surprised them with a private performance estimated to cost $3-4 million. The performance sparked criticism online, mainly on the music forum ATRL, where users attacked her decision to perform for employees of an Israeli company. One user noted posts by Thai citizens complaining about Zionist tourists. Other users expressed disappointment with the singer and criticized pop stars who perform at private events for wealthy individuals in exchange for high payment. This is not the first time Wiz has invested huge sums in employee events: last February it held a Purim party costing about 10 million shekels, and previously flew employees to Mauritius to participate in a private version of "Survivor."
