Google has faced scrutiny for its role in helping with the Israeli genocide.
What is Project Nimbus?
Project Nimbus is a joint venture between Google and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to supply the Israeli government with cloud computing infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI), and other tech services.
When unveiled in April 2021, the Israeli government described it as intended to “provide a comprehensive and thorough response for the provision of cloud services to the government, the defence establishment and other entities.”
The scale and scope of the project have led to widespread demonstrations by employees and activists.
Since the start of Israel’s genocide on Gaza on October 8, 2023, nearly 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 173,000 injured, while about 90 percent of the territory’s civilian infrastructure has been destroyed.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians continue to live in tents and temporary shelters across Gaza after their homes were destroyed or severely damaged during the war, forcing repeated displacement and leaving many in camps lacking basic services and necessities.
