“No to Technology for Apartheid”; The spread of protests against the contract with the Zionists in Google

According to the report of Fars International News Agency, the number of Google employees protesting the company’s contract with the Zionist army has increased and this group is going to participate in a series of protests titled “No to technology for apartheid”.

Technology companies including Google and Amazon are going to provide artificial intelligence technologies, machine learning and other cloud computing services to the Zionist interim regime and its army in a 1.2 billion dollar contract called “Nimbas Project”.

A group of Google employees who describe themselves as Jewish exiles are hoping to pressure the tech giant to cancel the massive contract. This group says that Google is complicit in the heinous crimes of this regime against the Palestinian people by supplying the most advanced technologies to the Zionist regime.

Ariel Korn, the director of Google’s marketing department, who is among the top opponents of the Nimbas project, announced his resignation on Tuesday for reasons related to his opposition to Nimbas. He, who had 7 years of cooperation with Google, said that the company gave him a deadline to either move to the Google office in Brazil or resign.

“Google is relentlessly pursuing military contracts and ignoring the voices of its employees by resorting to a pattern of silencing and reprimanding me and many others,” Korn wrote in his resignation letter.

He wrote in this letter: “Just like any other community, Jews have different political views and backgrounds, and yes, they have different opinions about Israel’s actions. Millions of Jews oppose Israel’s oppression of Palestinians. “Google knows this and has deliberately silenced hundreds of voices to prioritize economic benefit over humans through contracts like the Nimbas project.”

Korn’s resignation came as hundreds of Google employees and 25,000 outside the company signed a petition calling for him to remain in his position.

Korn and a number of other Google employees formed a group called “Exiled Jews in Tech” after his resignation.

This group has published statements from 15 Google employees about discrimination against Palestinians in this company. In the past few days, 6 Google employees along with some Palestinian human rights activists held a press conference in one of the company’s offices in San Francisco.

Next week, the activists of this group are going to hold demonstrations in several cities under the title “No to technology for apartheid”.

In an interview with the New York Times, Google executives have claimed that the company will provide public cloud services to the Israeli regime, which will lead to a digital transformation in Israel, and that this technology will be available to government agencies to perform daily tasks, including areas such as administration. It is finance, health, transportation and education and has nothing to do with highly sensitive classified data.

Despite the claims of Google managers, but according to reports, this company is going to provide software to the Zionist regime that can recognize people’s faces or their mental and inner states through faces or identify different objects in a video.

In recent years, there have been many protests by employees at Google. In these protests, employees opposed Google’s policies or criticized it on various issues. Those leading the protests have said Google executives harassed them, forced them to resign, or fired them outright.
