Amazon and Google Workers Condemn Project Nimbus Contract with Israeli Military
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anonymous workers at Google and Amazon are speaking out against their
employers' contracts with the Israeli government. Known as Project
Nimbus, the $1.2 billion agreement will provide cloud services to the
Israeli military and other government agencies. The unnamed workers
write, "We cannot look the other way, as the products we build are used
to deny Palestinians their basic rights, force Palestinians out of their
homes and attack Palestinians in the Gaza Strip." As of Tuesday, over 90
workers at Google and over 300 at Amazon signed on to the letter.
