#NoTechForApartheid campaign against Google & Amazon Web Services' cloud technology contract with apartheid Israel is growing.

Google offers learning software. Let’s teach Google respect for Palestinian human rights.

Toolkit for student & faculty ⬇️ ctt.ec/ZO31x+
The Google & Amazon contract for cloud tech, #ProjectNimbus, helps entrench Israel's regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid & occupation.

It assists the Israeli state & military in carrying out violence & ethnic cleansing against Indigenous Palestinians.
Heeding the Palestinian call to end corporate profiteering from apartheid, activists, workers, and shareholders globally call on Google & Amazon to end Project Nimbus.

Non-assistance to crimes against humanity is an international duty.
#NoTechForApartheid
Corporate tech giants are complicit in denial of workers rights, surveillance and militarization.

We need to build intersectional, global campaigns for justice. Let’s develop the #NoTechForApartheid campaign, linking effective Palestine solidarity with these struggles.
In 2021, Google and Amazon workers wrote to management, urging them to end this contract. Recently, shareholders also demanded an end to these contracts in stockholders' meetings.

Students oppose the use of their talent to serve apartheid.

#NoTechForApartheid
Actions to support this campaign:

- Mobilize campus unions to challenge Google & Amazon’s complicity
- Build protests and exhibitions
- Join days of action
- Open the discussion on free & open-source software

Is Germany Imposing an Arms Embargo on Israel?

The BDS movement calls for escalating pressure on the German establishment to end its shameless complicity in Israel’s war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.

Germany, one of Israel’s key partners in its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, announced on Friday, 8 August, it will until further notice, “approve no exports of military equipment that could be used in the Gaza Strip.”

But Germany is lying yet again. On the exact same day, the parent company of German submarine manufacturer TKMS said at its AGM that Germany had just issued a license for exporting a submarine to Israel.Image
In a statement, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz cited Israel’s recent "even tougher military action” as the reason for suspending arms exports. As if 22 months of genocide, siege and starvation were not enough. He made no mention of suspending the current export licenses Germany has issued to Israel.

Last week, Israel attacked the Catholic church in Gaza, killing 3 Palestinians and wounding many, including Father Gabriel Romanelli, who used to receive a daily call from the late Pope Francis.

People of all faiths must pressure their faith and political leaders to take concrete action to end any form of complicity in Israel’s genocide, apartheid and other atrocities.

loom.ly/k3aGca4Image
At the time of the attack, the Catholic church was sheltering around 600 Palestinians elderly and children, seeking safety from Israel’s livestreamed genocide.

St Porphyrius, the world’s third oldest church and a shelter for displaced Palestinians, was already bombed by Israel in October 2023, killing at least 16 people. Israel’s impunity fueled new attacks on churches and Gaza’s 4,000-year-old heritage.Image
In response to Israel’s deadly attack, Pope Leo XIV said he is “deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack.”

He expressed “his profound hope for dialogue, reconciliation and enduring peace in the region,” failing to identify the victims as Christian Palestinians and the perpetrators as the Israeli occupation forces, let alone to condemn what the ICJ determined in January 2024 was a “plausible” Israeli genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.Image

These are the #BDS consumer boycott targets named in the ground breaking report "From economy of occupation to economy of genocide" by the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.

The era of impunity for Israel — and corporations — must end. Boycott these companies, now. #EconomyOfGenocide

Microsoft: “Microsoft has been active in Israel since 1991, developing its largest centre outside the United States. Its technologies are embedded in the prison service, police, universities and schools – including in colonies. Microsoft has been integrating its systems and civilian tech across the Israeli military since 2003, while acquiring Israeli cybersecurity and surveillance start-ups.”Image
Google/Amazon: “As Israeli apartheid, military and population-control systems generate increasing volumes of data, its reliance on cloud storage and computing has grown. In 2021, Israel awarded Alphabet Inc. (Google) and Amazon, Inc. a $1.2 billion contract (Project Nimbus) – largely funded through Ministry of Defense expenditure – to provide core tech infrastructure.”Image

BREAKING: 14 tons of military supplies to Israel are blocked after designating them as part of a just-exposed illegal arms trafficking scheme through Italy’s port of Ravenna, Italy!

Stop the illegal military transfers that fuel Israel’s genocide, apartheid and illegal military occupation against the Palestinian people now!Image
The Italian Court of Appeal confirmed the seizure of a 14-ton load of weapons components (cannon pieces) produced by Valforge, a company in Lecco, at the port of Ravenna, which were to be embarked for transport to Israel. They were blocked after reports that they lacked the necessary export licence.

The cargo contained 800 metal pieces classified as armament material, with the recipient the Israeli company IMI Systems Ltd., a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest military company.Image
The decision of the Italian Court of Appeals has revealed 4 other shipments by Valforge during 2024 made to Ashot Ashkelon Industries, an offspring of IMI Systems.

Ashot Ashkelon Industries has seen its share price skyrocketing by 250% in the last years as the Israeli Ministry of Defense showered it with contracts.Image

Moroccan activists and port workers obstruct the docking of the Nexoe MAERSK, part of the MAERSK fleet shipping US military supplies for Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

#MilitaryEmbargo #MaskOffMAERSK
Meant to arrive yesterday, the Nexoe MAERSK is still circulating at sea and expected to attempt docking again this evening, April 19. Image
Image
We salute the steadfastness of the Moroccan people and port workers who refuse to be complicit in the illegal transfer of U.S. military cargo—fueling Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and apartheid against all Palestinians. Image
