So grateful and proud that anti-Zionist Jewish Googlers are demanding their company cut its contract with the Israeli military.

Alongside 1,000+ other Google and Amazon employees, Jewish Googlers want their labor to promote good, not power violence against Palestinians.

Through Project Nimbus, Google and Amazon give the Israeli military cloud services it uses to surveil Palestinians and expand illegal settlements.

Jewish Googlers Ariel Koren and Gabriel Schubiner feel an "intense moral responsibility" to end their complicity in this violence.

Feeling this moral responsibility, these Jewish Googlers helped devise the open letter to Google and Amazon that was published in the Guardian earlier this month.

So far, they and their co-organizers have garnered 1,000+ signatures from fellow Google and Amazon workers.

Koren and Schubiner's sense of responsibility also stems from recognition of their privilege, especially relative to Palestinian coworkers. All workers who signed the letter are risking their jobs to get the companies to do the right thing — but the Jewish ones have less to fear.

Schubiner and Koren are also members of Jewish Diaspora in Tech, a group of Jews ostracized from tech spaces due to their anti-Zionism and solidarity with Palestinians.

It is so exciting to see the proliferation of anti-Zionist Jewish groups in every corner of society!

Almost 50 human rights and tech accountability organizations have come together to echo and support brave workers like Koren and Schubiner, who are fighting for a world with safety and freedom for all.
