Project Nimbus: how Google and Amazon made billions from the Israeli occupation of Palestine
"We are anonymous because we fear reprisals." This sentence was part of a letter signed by 500 Google employees last October, denouncing their company's direct support for the Israeli government and military.
In their letter, the signatories protested a $1.2 billion contract between Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the Israeli government that provides cloud services for the Israeli military and government that "enables increased surveillance and illegal data collection on Palestinians, and facilitates expansion of Israel's illegal settlements on Palestinian land."
This is Project Nimbus, which was announced in 2018 and went into effect in May 2021, in the first week of the Israeli war on besieged Gaza, which killed more than 250 Palestinians and injured many more.
