[…] We’re heeding the call from over 1000 #Google and #Amazon workers to rise up against the contract, known as Project Nimbus. Technology should be used to bring people together, not enable #apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and settler-colonialism. Following in the footsteps of those who fought to divest from apartheid South Africa and won, it’s our responsibility to rise up in support of Palestinian freedom. The Amazon and Google execs who signed this contract can still choose to be on the right side of history.
Demand Amazon & Google stop doing business with Israeli apartheid & powering the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza
@zorg yes indeed .. I was prompted by this news report about STEM students petition, but forgot to include it :(
Over 1,100 STEM students and young workers from 120+ universities have signed a pledge to boycott Google and Amazon by refusing to take jobs or internships until the companies end their involvement in Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract providing cloud computing services to the Israeli government. The pledge, organized by No Tech for Apartheid, aims to pressure Google and Amazon to divest from Project Nimbus, which critics argue enables Israeli apartheid and violence against Palestinians.
I'm thrilled to announce that my novel, "From Terror to Valor: Echoes and Shadows" (ISBN-978-1068638732), is now staged on Kindle for print, for release on September 11th! 🎉
🌟 Next up: the Kindle eBook staging, completing its deployment across major digital stores. 🚀
“Divestment at the University of Edinburgh: Breaking from Balfour’s colonial legacy: As a university steeped in the legacy of Balfour, we have an urgent duty to end complicity in Israel's settler colonial project. Divestment from companies complicit in occupation, apartheid, and genocide is the first step toward historical redress.”
by University of Edinburgh Students and Staff Divestment Movement in Mondoweiss @mondoweiss
“This Monday 17th June 2024, the University of Edinburgh Court rules on a historical decision on whether or not to begin an active and immediate process of divestment from ‘controversial weapons’ complicit in Palestinian dispossession and Israeli settler colonialism, which the University has been entangled with for well over a century. The ruling of the court could mean immediate divestment from companies like Amazon and Alphabet as their ‘AI solutions’ might be plausibly in use in the mass targeting of civilians in Gaza. This would set a grand precedent and would serve as a concrete step to reducing our institutional complicity in violence against Palestinians.”
