HeadlineJan 22, 2025

That’s according to The Washington Post, which obtained internal documents showing Google directly assisted Israeli military forces, despite the company’s efforts to publicly distance itself from Israel’s national security apparatus. Last year, Google fired dozens of employees with the group No Tech for Apartheid after they demanded Google withdraw from Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract to provide cloud computing services to the Israeli military.
