'As an Amazon employee, I do not want my work to support apartheid and war crimes,' said one worker protesting the company's Project Nimbus cloud computing contract with Israel. NoTechForApartheid
Dani Noble, campaigns organizer at Jewish Voice for Peace, said that"leading human rights organizations have confirmed what Palestinians have been saying for decades: that Israel is an apartheid state based on Jewish supremacy, where Israeli Jews have more rights and freedoms than Palestinians."
"Amazon technology can all too easily be used by the Israeli government to entrench its apartheid system: expand Jewish-only settlements, force Palestinian families off of their land, and destroy their homes," Noble noted."Amazon tech workers are bravely saying no more—they want their labor to help people, not enable violence against Palestinians. As Jews organizing for Palestinian freedom, we are proud to show up in solidarity with tech workers standing up for Palestinian rights.
"For almost two years, Amazon's own tech workers have been clear: They don't want their labor to enable this suffering," she asserted."Tech companies are the new war profiteers: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy was head of AWS in May 2021 when he approved the contract and while the Israeli military systematically bombed Palestinian homes, hospitals, and schools in Gaza."
"Jassy can still choose to put people over profit, listen to his own workers, and cut ties with Israel's brutal military occupation," Barrios added."It's our duty to show up with workers today to say No Tech For Apartheid together."
