An increasingly large number of employees of the technological organization Google have joined a campaign of complaints asking the American company to abandon the contract of 1.2 billion dollars that provides technological services to Israel known as Project Nimbus.
A recent Time magazine article highlights the growing influence of the No Tech For Apartheid campaign, a group of activists who have taken a stand against Google's collaboration with Israel's apartheid and criminal regime, and now about 40 Google employees are among the activists of the campaign.
Last week, Eddie Hatfield, a 23-year-old Google Cloud software engineer, stood at Mind the Tech, an annual conference to promote Israel's technology industry, and issued a banner that read "I'm a Google Cloud software engineer , and I refuse to develop technology that empowers genocide, racism or citizen espionage !”
He was supported by the anti-Zionist Jewish groups Shoresh and Jewish Voices for Peace .
Two Google employees also recently announced their resignation from the technology giant due to its involvement in a joint effort of a $1.2 billion project between Google and Amazon to provide AI services to the brutal Israeli army.
Recently, the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, condemned the action of the illegal Israeli administration to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the war against the Palestinian citizens in the Gaza Strip.
Experts say, the use of Intelligence in the war in Gaza is the source of arbitrary killing of a large number of civilians, especially women and children .
