Elder of ZiyonGoogle has shown no tolerance for the intolerant.
When they did a university-style "occupation" of their offices in New York and Sunnyvale, CA, Google called the police and arrested them - and then fired 28 of them for "physically impeding other employees’ work and preventing them from accessing our facilities."
Google has two offices in Israel, in Tel Aviv and Haifa. with about 2,000 employees. Over the years it has bought several Israeli companies, like Waze, Siemplify, Elastifile, Cybereason and Alooma.
Now Google's parent company Alphabet is close to its biggest acquisition ever. Google parent company Alphabet is said to be in advanced negotiations to buy Israeli cloud security company Wiz for around $23 billion.
Wired has an article saying it has evidence that Project Nimbus really does do work for the IDF. If so - so what? They brought no evidence that the project was violating Amazon's policies or agreements with the State of Israel. The IDF is a large organization with lots of services that have nothing to do with attacking the enemy which may be out of bounds for the contract. (Examples would be back office work, payroll, benefits, procurement, office supplies, promotional materials, and coordinating aid to Gaza.)
Google is not leaving Israel anytime soon. Many of their technologies were developed in Israel. The BDSers, if they wanted to be consistent, should quit immediately.
Their failure to do so shows that they are the worst kinds of hypocrites.
