HUNDREDS of employees of the world’s biggest tech companies have joined together to prevent their employers’ collaboration with the state of Israel. The No Tech for Apartheid movement raises questions related to big tech companies such as Google and Amazon’s disregard for ethical standards and their growing complicity with the Israeli occupation.

A joint statement issued with the consent of over 1,000 Google and Amazon employees asserts that “technology should be used to bring people together, not enable apartheid, ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism.”

The movement is inspired by the successful fight against apartheid in South Africa. It has pointed out that Nimbus, Google and Amazon’s joint project with the state of Israel is nothing new but part of a long list of similar previous collaborations like with the US Department of Defence, Immigrants and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and various state and local police departments to provide different types of data and processing tools.
