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
“It always seems impossible until it's done.” - Nelson Mandela
Apartheid ended in South Africa, & together we can end Israeli apartheid against Palestinians. On @NelsonMandela International Day we honour a life dedicated to the fight against racism & oppression.
Mandela recognised the similarities between apartheid South Africa & Israel's regime of oppression against Palestinians. He never forgot the pivotal role Israel played in supporting the apartheid regime in South Africa & undermining the global boycott against it.
As a leader of the South African liberation movement that used boycotts & sanctions to undermine the apartheid regime, Mandela helped to establish many of the principles that today guide & inspire the Palestinian-led, global #BDS movement for Palestinian rights.
As a grassroots, anti-racist, nonviolent global movement, BDS plays a critical role in the struggle to expose and dismantle Israel’s regime of settler-colonialism, military occupation and apartheid.
We, Indigenous Palestinians, have been struggling for a century against the Zionist settler colonial project, which in 1948 established Israel as an apartheid regime.
Our struggle to resist its ethnic cleansing and fragmentation of our people & land is now bearing fruit.
As the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, India's healthcare system struggled to cope with the spread. Still, Modi's government ordered 16,479 Israeli Negev machine guns, worth $116 million.
Journalist syndicates, unions and federations should:
- End ties with complicit Israeli institutions.
- Pledge to refuse junkets to Israel funded by the Israeli government, complicit Israeli institutions and Israel lobby groups.
- Support journalists who refuse to cover assignments in Israel on ethical grounds.
- Support the International Federation of Journalists @IFJGlobal's case before the @IntlCrimCourt on Israel’s systematic targeting of Palestinian journalists.
Earlier this week on #PressFreedomDay2022, @mbachelet, the @UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights, condemned the use of Israeli NSOGroup's spyware #Pegasus against journalists worldwide as "an affront to privacy and press freedom."
Last year, @FbdnStories denounced the use of Israeli spyware Pegasus against more than 180 journalists in 20 countries around the world. #BanCyberSurveillance
Pegasus was created by the Israeli company @NSOgroup. The Israeli government, which sponsors, licenses, regulates, and supports NSO, considers the company’s weapons-grade spyware “a crucial component of its foreign policy and national security.”
