So 500 employees of @Amazon and @Google want to end a $1.2b contract with Israel. Let's talk about this.

1/

@amazon @Google Even they admit that Google has contracts with governments and entities they don't like.

Yet...no letter to the Guardian about those deals.

Hmmm. Wonder why not.
2/

@amazon @Google In fact, the petitionrs don't even mention huge Google deals with Saudi Arabia, or its re-entry into the China market after publicly leaving.

Hmmmm. Wonder why not.

3/

@amazon @Google They position this deal as being with Israel's military, not mentioning that it is with Israel altogether - public sector and defense.

The purpose is for Israel to keep sensitive information in the country, rather than risk it being stolen from cloud services elsewhere.

4/

@amazon @Google Perhaps their sudden interest in publicly opposing this deal, as opposed to all the other deals, is because it would help make Israel more secure:?

Just a theory. I'm sure they have real reasons to be so selective.
5/

@amazon @Google As always, the anti-Israel crowd says "you gotta start somewhere" - and that somewhere happens to be the only Jewish majority country on the planet.

But it is a coincidence, I'm sure.
