Software engineers at Google and Amazon have objected to providing services to the Israeli government because of the harm it would bring to Palestinians, yet these companies are already contributing to Israel\u2019s colonial project in many ways.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

8 Dec 2021 – <\/em>In October, software engineers at Google and Amazon wrote an anonymous open letter<\/a> objecting to Project Nimbus \u2013 a $1.2 billion contract that would provide these companies\u2019 services to the Israeli state \u2013 because of the harm it would bring to Palestinians. The letter also called for a rejection of \u201cfuture contracts that will harm our users,\u201d including contracts with \u201cany and all militarized organizations in the US and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet these companies\u2019 complicity with Israel \u2013 rooted in their commitment to US empire \u2013 goes far beyond direct contracts with the Israeli state. US computing companies like Microsoft<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, Google<\/a>, and Facebook<\/a> contribute to Israel\u2019s colonial project through multiple avenues.<\/p>\n

I have previously examined Microsoft\u2019s commitments to Israel<\/a>, and I now turn to Google\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Google invests in and acquires Israeli startup companies that were built on efforts to terrorize and dispossess Palestinians. More than a service provider to the Israeli state, Google actively advances Israel\u2019s agenda and promotes Zionist propaganda.<\/p>\n

Google also occupies physical space in colonized Palestine, where the company\u2019s existence facilitates further destruction of the land. Google\u2019s products \u2013 which in some cases are Israel\u2019s products \u2013 even reflect a racist, Zionist view of space.<\/p>\n

Google profits from the US-Israeli alliance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s no secret that Google is aligned with US empire. The company has serviced the US military<\/a> and police forces<\/a> (including ICE<\/a>). Google has also been a partner<\/a> to the CIA and FBI<\/a>, and complicit in the NSA\u2019s mass surveillance<\/a> program. Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, was the founding chair of the Defense Innovation Board<\/a>, a group of scientists, corporate elites, and government officials that works to ensure the Pentagon has the latest technologies of oppression \u2013 technologies that are often co-developed with Israel.<\/p>\n

Google opened its first facilities in Israel in 2006. It currently has offices in both Tel Aviv and Haifa, employing over 1600 Israelis, and is planning to build additional<\/a> facilities in colonized Palestine. In a 2012 visit with then Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Eric Schmidt declared that the \u201cdecision to invest in Israel was one of the best that Google has ever made.\u201d Always courting imperialists, Netanyahu added<\/a>: \u201cThis is Israel \u2013 science, sun, and Google.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s CEO explained one thing the company gets out of the alliance: a trained workforce. \u201cYour people,\u201d Schmidt told Netanyahu, \u201cshow up a lot more organized in life\u201d after serving in the Israeli army, which is also where they get their impressive \u201cdata analytics capabilities.\u201d Schmidt has since put his money where his mouth is, investing<\/a> $18 million in 2015 in a \u201ccybersecurity\u201d initiative created by the former chief of Unit 8200<\/a> \u2013 the Israeli army\u2019s notorious counterinsurgency and surveillance unit. When Schmidt visited Israel the following year, Israeli troops assembled<\/a> on their base to spell \u201cGoogle\u201d in his honor.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s efforts to terrorize, surveil, and displace Palestinians produce technologies that Google feeds on.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

Israel\u2019s efforts to terrorize, surveil, and displace Palestinians produce technologies that Google feeds on. Google has acquired several Israeli companies emerging from this colonial pipeline, including Waze<\/a> for $1.1 billion (in 2013), SlickLogin<\/a> for an undisclosed sum (in 2014), Elastifile<\/a> for $200 million and Alooma<\/a> for $150 million (in 2019), among others. Google\u2019s investment wing, Gradient Ventures, meanwhile pours millions of dollars<\/a> into Israeli companies. All these companies capitalize on the Israeli state\u2019s tools for surveillance and control<\/a>, which they now sell to the world as \u201ccybersecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google also profits from continued theft of Palestinian lands. The company has recently agreed<\/a> to integrate Google Pay into Bank Leumi<\/a> \u2013 an Israeli bank that is notorious for financing Jewish-only settlements such as Pisgat Ze\u2019ev, built on lands confiscated from Beit Hanina, Shuafat, and other Palestinian neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. Bank Leumi has also offered mortgages<\/a> to Jewish settlers. As the Israeli bank\u2019s customers get more \u201cdigital,\u201d Google will profit.<\/p>\n

Google, in turn, uses its resources to advance Israel\u2019s agenda and disseminate Zionist propaganda \u2013 while continuing to occupy Palestine.<\/p>\n

Zionism, Google-style<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2008, Google\u2019s co-founder Sergey Brin visited the Zionist colony<\/a> known as Israel for the third time. In an interview with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz<\/em>, Brin gushed about Israel\u2019s achievements. \u201cIt\u2019s just incredible,\u201d Brin said. \u201cI was generally familiar with the history of Israel, but really seeing\u2026 what\u2019s been really accomplished\u2026 out of nothing, just dirt.\u201d For Brin, Palestine doesn\u2019t exist, but whatever was there prior to Zionist colonization was \u201cjust dirt.\u201d European settlers, as the Zionist myth goes, made the desert bloom.<\/p>\n

This racist narrative is reflected in how Google occupies space. Each part of Google\u2019s Tel Aviv headquarters, located in the \u201cElectra\u201d skyscraper, was designed<\/a> \u201cbased on a scene found somewhere in Israel.\u201d In one area, a desert scene; in another, fake orange trees and wooden crates. Here, Google regurgitates the Zionist myth<\/a> of the Jaffa orange as an \u201cIsraeli\u201d product. Palestinians have grown and exported oranges, sometimes in partnership<\/a> with Jewish growers, for generations prior to Israel\u2019s formation. Israel appropriated<\/a> the Jaffa orange and used land stolen in the Nakba to grow and profit from these fruits. Thus, the very design of Google\u2019s headquarters screams Zionism.<\/p>\n

This alignment with Zionism comes with material support: Google even reserved one of its skyscraper floors for \u201cCampus TLV,\u201d an initiative created by then Prime Minister Netanyahu through which the company helps Israeli startups flourish.<\/p>\n

Google has also served as a general consultant to the Israeli state. This was made clear in Google\u2019s \u201cE-nnovate Israel<\/a>\u201d project \u2013 a kind of precursor to Project Nimbus.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2013, E-nnovate Israel\u2019s stated aims were to help Israel increase its GDP and \u201cprovide the [Israeli] government with a systematic model for the implementation of information and communication technologies.\u201d The promotional video<\/a> for the project promises to integrate \u201cinternet tools and technologies\u201d into each government wing, including \u201cdefense\u201d and \u201chome front defense,\u201d as well as \u201cconstruction and housing.\u201d The kickoff event for E-nnovate Israel featured<\/a> Naftali Bennett \u2013 current Israeli Prime Minister, then Minister of Economy \u2013 infamous for boasting about killing<\/a> \u201clots of Arabs.\u201d In his speech, Bennett declared that \u201cif the State of Israel will embrace even some of the innovative principles [presented by Google] that have proven so successful in the private sector, we have a great future ahead of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google narrates Israel\u2019s future in Zionist terms. Israel isn\u2019t a settler-colonialist regime, but a factory of \u201cinnovation\u201d that will benefit everyone (\u201cstartup nation\u201d). \u201cIsrael,\u201d says Google E-nnovate, \u201cis a nation of independent thinkers whose innovation, creativity, and drive are part of our DNA and collective soul.\u201d This project too repeats the Zionist orange story, explaining that Israel has \u201cprogressed from exporting oranges to exporting technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Google\u2019s brand of Zionist propaganda, Israel\u2019s \u201cmain asset\u201d isn\u2019t the land, labor, or knowledge it has stolen from Palestine\u2019s Indigenous inhabitants, but the Israeli \u201cpeople, who have the uncanny ability to think creatively and constantly come up with innovative ideas.\u201d These \u201cinnovative\u201d ideas made Israel into the largest global exporter<\/a> of drones, and a supplier of arms and counterinsurgency tactics<\/a> to oppressive regimes across the world.<\/p>\n

Suppressing the resistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another way to reaffirm Zionist narratives is to bury the alternatives. Over the years, Google has downranked<\/a> (to varying degrees) anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist sites on its search results \u2013 including CounterPunch<\/em>, World Socialist Web Site<\/em>, and Black Agenda Report<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Palestinians have been regularly targeted<\/a> for both criminalization<\/a> and censorship<\/a> on (anti)social media platforms. The Palestinian poet Dareen Tatour<\/a> was arrested in 2015 and later jailed by Israel for posting her poem \u201cResist, my people, resist them\u201d on Facebook and Google\u2019s YouTube, while countless Palestinian voices have been expunged from these fascistic platforms. As the Palestinian writer Mariam Barghouti has recently argued<\/a>, these platforms do more than silence individuals \u2013 they are \u201cerasing us [Palestinians] in toto, scrubbing and obscuring the criminal acts by which Israel replaces us with its settlements and settlers, burying us in the abyss of history as a population of ghosts.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Google displays the land, Palestinians are indeed treated like ghosts that haunt the landscape \u2013 and the settler\u2019s view is again elevated.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s Zionist view of space<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Controlling the land is a major aim of settler societies, which is why Israel invests enormous resources into mapping and navigation technologies \u2013 tools that also attract companies like Google. As the architect Eyal Weizman has documented<\/a>, Israel has created detailed 3D computer models of Palestinian areas to facilitate colonization and control. Israel\u2019s war intellectuals have also adopted disturbing spatial metaphors like the idea of \u201cwalking through walls\u201d<\/a> \u2013 Israel\u2019s euphemism, lifted from critical theory, for tearing through urban Palestinian homes, which the state put into practice in the West Bank in 2002, during the Second Intifada.<\/p>\n

A Palestinian woman who survived the Israeli attacks, identified to a journalist as Aisha, reflected<\/a>: \u201cYou have no idea if they\u2019re after you, if they\u2019ve come to take over your home, or if your house just lies on their route to somewhere else. Is it possible to even begin to imagine the horror experienced by a five-year-old child as four, six, eight, twelve soldiers, their faces painted black, submachine guns pointed everywhere, antennas protruding from their backpacks, making them look like giant alien bugs, blast their way through that wall?\u201d<\/p>\n

Israeli forces, Aisha added, then \u201cblew up the wall and continued to our neighbor\u2019s house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google shares Israel\u2019s ambition to surveil the land \u2013 indeed, the earth \u2013 and direct all movements from a militarized perspective.<\/p>\n

In 2001, Google bought the CIA-sponsored company Keyhole<\/a> and used the company\u2019s 3D mapping software as the basis<\/a> for Google Earth<\/a>. The CIA had used<\/a> Keyhole\u2019s software during the occupation of Iraq, in the early 2000s, to surveil Iraqi movements, identify targets, and overlay surveillance information (such as intercepted communications) onto geospatial displays. As the US and Israel inflict a similar kind of terror on the people they occupy, Google is there to provide some of the tools.<\/p>\n

Google expanded its spatial capabilities by acquiring the Israeli company Waze \u2013 which emerged from the Israeli army\u2019s Unit 8200 \u2013 for $1.1 billion in 2013. Google not only profits from Waze\u2019s navigation software; it also reproduces the Israeli settler\u2019s perspective imprinted into the technology.<\/p>\n

Waze was designed to give an Israeli military-approved view of space. For example, the software doesn\u2019t<\/a> give directions in the West Bank. After consultation with the Israeli army\u2019s \u201cJudea and Samaria Division\u201d (a Zionist label for the West Bank region), Waze programmed its software to \u201cwarn Israeli drivers\u201d when they enter areas populated predominantly by Palestinians (so-called \u201cArea A\u201d in the West Bank) \u2013 which Israel portrays as zones of terrorism.<\/p>\n

\n

Google Maps similarly gives a Zionist view of the land. For Google Maps, Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and the terms \u201cWest Bank\u201d and \u201cGaza\u201d have in the past been replaced<\/a> with \u201cIsrael.\u201d Google Maps has also displayed large swaths of the West Bank as blanks, reminiscent of Google co-founder\u2019s sense that what isn\u2019t Israel is \u201cjust dirt.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the Palestinian group 7amleh has shown<\/a>, Google Maps excludes \u201cPalestinian areas that are unrecognized by Israel\u201d but displays Jewish-only settlements, and ignores \u201call movement restrictions that exist for Palestinians, such as checkpoints and restricted roads, which impede free movement for Palestinians, and, if not taken into consideration can cause severe danger for Palestinians.\u201d And it generally won\u2019t give directions to or from Gaza.<\/p>\n

Even Israel\u2019s apartheid wall \u2013 over 700 kilometers (440 miles) long, constructed in order to grab more land and further fragment Palestinian towns and villages \u2013 isn\u2019t<\/a> displayed by Google Maps. Such Zionist interfaces have prompted Palestinians to create alternative<\/a> maps through initiatives such as PalMap<\/a> and Palestine Open Maps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Google, however, sticks to the colonizers\u2019 view. In October, when the label \u201cApartheid Wall\u201d somehow made it into Google Maps, the Zionist group Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) alerted Google, which promptly removed<\/a> it. A Google spokesperson reportedly told JNS that they \u201chave taken swift action to update this inappropriate error.\u201d<\/p>\n

Project Nimbus: another phase in colonization<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Project Nimbus demonstrates once more that Google is committed to Israel\u2019s agenda. Through this project, Google also continues to colonize Palestine.<\/p>\n

Israel has already started building<\/a> the facility that will house Google\u2019s servers, along with the necessary infrastructure. According to an Israeli news source, the facility will require four on-site fuel tanks<\/a> with a capacity exceeding 200,000 liters. The facility is being built in Bnei Zion, a Jewish settlement (\u201cmoshav\u201d) in central Palestine that was established in 1947 with the help of the Jewish Agency for Israel<\/a> \u2013 which, as Joseph Massad puts it, is \u201cthe main Zionist organ in charge of advancing Jewish colonization of Palestine.\u201d Beyond advancing Jewish-only settlements and expulsion of Palestinians, the Jewish Agency has also attacked Boycott, Sanctions, and Divestment (BDS) initiatives as \u201canti-Semitic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

Bnei Zion\u2019s residents, who live on these stolen lands, have tried to block<\/a> the construction of Google\u2019s facility through Israeli courts \u2013 but not out of concern for Palestinians. The residents are worried that computing servers with government data would open the facility to physical attacks \u201cfrom Lebanon and Gaza.\u201d They are also concerned about the facility\u2019s environmentally destructive effects, and the opaque state bureaucracy that approves such projects without seeking the residents\u2019 input. Israel, of course, was built through this opaque bureaucracy, which for decades has expropriated lands for Jewish-only settlement and blocked Palestinian development projects. The construction of the computing facility continues this colonial project, with its environmental devastation, while enriching Israel, Google, and partner companies such as Amazon.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting the broad set of corporations<\/a> that feed on colonial ventures like Project Nimbus. While Google and Amazon won the computing services contract, Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle were also competing for it. (Oracle<\/a> already has an underground server facility in Jerusalem and is planning to open another one, while Facebook and Apple<\/a> are also expected to build additional Israeli facilities.) Consulting firms also get a piece of the pie: the British-Dutch firm KPMG will help direct the Israeli project, winning the contract that Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Hewlett Packard Enterprise<\/a> (HPE), and McKinsey<\/a> had also competed for.<\/p>\n

Dismantling the colonial regime and its corporate tentacles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Beyond facilitating criminalization and state violence, Google and its peers also engage in \u201cprogressive\u201d counterinsurgency to protect the US empire\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n

These corporations have created the farce of so-called \u201cethical tech\u201d: the notion that with the right code of \u201cethics\u201d<\/a> and proper \u201cpartnerships,\u201d these companies and their state partners could work for the common \u201cgood<\/a>.\u201d Google, Microsoft, and other companies have sponsored academics, policy pundits, government advisors, and journalists who push this \u201cethics\u201d train, and use progressive propaganda<\/a> to shield the industry\u2019s investments in incarceration<\/a> and colonialism.<\/p>\n

When the \u201cethics\u201d train started losing<\/a> steam, the same forces proceeded to fund academics and anyone else who can promise an \u201canti-racist,\u201d \u201cfeminist,\u201d \u201cabolitionist,\u201d or \u201cdecolonial\u201d rebranding<\/a> of the same industry, without challenging its imperial existence. The result is a spectacle: the appearance of a clash between so-called \u201cbig tech\u201d corporations and the critics they bankroll, which are really two sides of the same coin.<\/p>\n

On the periphery of this largely US-driven spectacle, there are alternative analyses<\/a> and organizational<\/a> forms that aren\u2019t invested in these industries and their oppressive technologies \u2013 but rather set the stage for their abolition. Palestinian activist groups such as Stop the Wall<\/a>, for example, have identified companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook as \u201ccolonizers\u201d that are part of the Israeli regime. Abolishing the colonial regime means that these destructive entities will have to go.<\/p>\n

Working towards abolition is different from calling for corporations to be \u201cethical.\u201d This work also isn\u2019t compatible with White House talking points<\/a> that promise \u201cunbiased\u201d<\/a> computing systems for the empire\u2019s citizens (since in the US, oppression is apparently \u201cunintentional,\u201d a technical accident, unlike in \u201cautocracies\u201d such as China). It is also different from appeals to a capitalist logic of \u201cfree-market competition\u201d and \u201cantitrust\u201d and demands for the neoliberal state to \u201cregulate\u201d those corporations it has always colluded with. Nor does the practice of abolition automatically align with the agenda of computing professionals working at Google or Amazon, whose class interests have been largely erased by the blanket term \u201ctech worker.\u201d Recent efforts to unionize<\/a> employees at Alphabet\/Google, while possibly good for the Googlers in the short-term, can further stabilize this imperial-corporate system \u2013 in the same way that unions of CIA analysts, investment bankers, prison guards, or workers at a Raytheon plant can cement oppressive institutions.<\/p>\n

Abolitionist alternatives won\u2019t come from corporations, governments, and thought leaders of the non-profit industrial complex<\/a> who greedily co-opt<\/a> social uprisings \u2013 but from anti-imperial collectives that want to create something liberatory from the ashes of the imperial system in which Google and its partners play key roles.<\/p>\n
