WASHINGTON (Dispatches) – Google Cloud announced the launch of a new service which will provide cloud services to the Israeli occupying regime and its military.
“By 2030, the Google Cloud region in Tel Aviv will contribute a cumulative $7.6 billion to Israel’s gross domestic product, and support the creation of 21,200 jobs in that year alone,” Google Cloud said in a statement.
Google Cloud regions offer a variety of advanced cloud computing systems and features to users, such as data analytics, data loss prevention, network intelligence and debugging.
The Zionist regime is the first in the Middle East to receive a Cloud region, though Google said that Dammam, Saudi Arabia, and Doha, Qatar, will “soon” join the program.
Google Cloud Country Director in the occupied territories, Boaz Maoz, said: “Google has long looked to Israel for globally impactful technologies including popular Search features, Waze, Duplex, Live Caption, and flood forecasting. At our Decode with Google 15RAEL event last week, we celebrated 15 years of Google innovation in Israel and our longstanding support” for the regime.
It comes a year after Google and Amazon Web Services were found to be providing advanced AI and machine-learning capabilities to the Zionist regime through its controversial $1.2 billion “Project Nimbus” contract.
Tens of Google and Amazon employees organized protests in New York, Seattle, San Francisco and Durham, including the tech giants’ headquarters, calling for their employers to cancel the contract with the occupying regime’s military.
Participants made it clear that Project Nimbus would strengthen the policies and mechanisms of apartheid and the suppression of Palestinians. According to experts with digital civil rights organization Access Now, the occupying regime’s use of surveillance and facial recognition technology appears to be among the most elaborate by the regime seeking to control a subject population.
