• More than 1,000 students from various universities have pledged not to work for Google and Amazon due to their involvement in Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion cloud computing contract with the Israeli government. The students believe that this contract enables the Israeli government's surveillance and oppression of Palestinians, and they are calling on the tech giants to cancel the contract.
• The pledge, organized by the group "No Tech for Apartheid," has been signed by students from over 25 universities across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The students argue that by working for Google and Amazon, they would be complicit in the human rights abuses perpetrated by the Israeli government against Palestinians.
• The tech companies have defended their involvement in Project Nimbus, stating that the contract is with the Israeli government and not with any specific military or intelligence agencies. However, the students maintain that the cloud infrastructure provided by the contract can be used to support the Israeli government's surveillance and control over Palestinians, and they are determined to hold the tech giants accountable for their actions.
