STATEMENT—From Google workers with the No Tech For Apartheid campaign on Google’s sponsorship of this week’s “IT for IDF” conference in “Israel” this week.

Google’s likely participation in "IT for IDF,” an arms trade conference happening this week in “Tel Aviv," cements its continued complicity in facilitating the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and is heinous & shameful.

For years, Google has lied to the media, public, & its workers. Google executives have claimed that Project Nimbus, its joint $1.2B cloud contract with Amazon for the Israeli military and government, was “not intended for military workloads” and “focused on civilian contracts.”

Despite Israeli & U.S. media proving otherwise, Google has insisted that Project Nimbus did not do business with the Israeli military, which is waging genocide in Gaza.

Google’s sponsorship of “IT for IDF” is yet another example of its deceitful complicity. Google has participated in and sponsored this conference in the past, and continues to cement its ties to Israeli apartheid.

As of July 9, 2024, Google Cloud’s logo no longer appears as a sponsor on the “IT for IDF” website. We note that the logo was present as late as July 8, 2024.

We have reasons to believe that the abrupt removal of the logo is in part a response to the alarm that Google workers of conscience raised internally.

The pitiful act of hiding the logo suggests that the company is well aware of its complicity in genocide and apartheid and is more obsessed with its image than actually removing material support for Zionist state’s decimation of entire family lines of Palestinians in Gaza.

If the association with the IOF is compromising enough to hide, we challenge Google to do the right thing and drop Nimbus immediately.

Workers did not join Google to work for a military contractor. Google has no business sponsoring a military conference—let alone one led by the Israeli Occupation Forces that is waging an active genocide that has taken the lives of over 186,000 Palestinians.

Google must drop Nimbus and halt all business with Israel. We will not stop organizing until our demands are met & Palestine is free.

In 1971, Nixon decided to separate the dollar from gold. Henry Kissinger went to Saudi Arabia to convince King Faisal not to sell oil except in dollars in exchange for absolute American protection of the ruling regime.

After this decision, it became imperative for all oil-producing countries to sell oil only in US dollars, making the dollar the global currency.

There are more than 200 countries in the world, and these countries can be divided into two categories: energy producers and consumers. If you are a "country" and want to buy oil for your people, you must use the US dollar because oil-producing countries only sell it in dollars.

If the people in the Middle East decide to choose their rulers, and an elected ruler decides to sell oil in another currency, and Arab oil-producing countries follow suit, this means that non-oil-producing countries no longer need the US dollar.

But where will the US dollar around the world go?

It will go to the only place where you can use it, which is the United States. Then you will witness an unprecedented financial inflation in history, and all taxes will be unable to keep up.

But where does Israel fit into this equation?

Israel is the advanced military base for the United States. Its presence near oil-rich countries, like a sentry, is both feared and relied upon, ensuring that things remain as they are.

The Saudi oil embargo, which occurred in 1973, it was a cover-up for the upcoming deal with the US, which essentially allowed the US to print money out of thin air. This agreement significantly elevated the importance of the Middle East for US global domination.

Petrodollar has no link to Faisal’s assassination:

Decided *1971

Passed 1973

Saudi signed the deal 1974

Faisal assassination 1975
