BREAKING: Pro-Palestine activists have disrupted a presentation by Werner Vogels, Amazon vice president and Chief Technology Officer, at the UN’s “AI for Good” summit in Switzerland. Palestinian civil society strongly condemns the UN International Telecommunication Union’s shameful partnership with criminal tech companies in this summit, particularly Microsoft, Amazon, Google,... Cisco, Oracle, and IBM. In providing cloud infrastructure and AI technologies to the Israeli war ministry, these companies are deeply complicit in Israel's military occupation, apartheid and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians. Project Nimbus, the joint $1.22 billion contract between Google and Amazon signed in 2021, provides cloud and AI tech services to the Israeli government and the Israeli military. It enables the Israeli military to run deadly AI programs such as Lavender and Gospel — crucial to its ongoing, livestreamed genocide in Gaza. We call for global pressure on the UN and its member States to end all UN partnership and contracts with these and similarly complicit corporations, and on Amazon and Google to drop their genocidal Project Nimbus.show more

Dear @Google @googledevs @amazon @awscloud Stop providing AI and cloud services to genocidal IGF Israel! You are contributing to their genocide of the people of Palestine 🇵🇸 and Lebanon 🇱🇧 @SenSanders @RepThomasMassie @SpeakerPelosi @SenAlexPadilla @AOC @ChrisVanHollen @IrishTimes @ScotNational @libe @theintercept

There should be 1000s storming that stage. I simply admire this guy 100% for showing everyone what human empathy looks like, for pointing at the long trail of blood that Amazon has caused, in the middle of a Genocide! #BDS

Bravo to this brave man and his comrades. Keep exposing the monsters. ❤️🙏✌️🇵🇸

Heroes of Humanity against the pedophile and genocidal terrorist scumbag capitalist system. Long life to Resistance at any way it displays.

The younger generation is not having their BULL-crap. Rise up young people the world over, your futures depend on where these SICKOs mis-lead us. More and more it is appearing to be off many, many cliffs. In solidarity with our youth 🌎 ✊🏽🌍 .

Brilliant intervention ❤️🇵🇸

I boycott Amazon totally, also totally boycott AI & everything it stands for! Boycotting works! Too many people say "Amazon are cheap" that's NOT reason to use it! It's supposed to good for people but it's about killing people, brain washing people, genocide too! #BDS 🇵🇸

Facts matter.

They initially secured financial power by establishing banks, then gained control over the arts—cinema, theater, and music—to brainwash the very people who opposed them. Now, they have risen to dominate the technology companies that are beginning to shape the future of humanity.

Greed is a pathology. Greedy people are not happy, never satisfied, and they're prone to violence. Werner Vogels & his ilk are sick & we're a sick society because we have an economic system that gives the worst people an advantage over the rest of us.

@chrislunn47 Apparently @AmazonUK is now requesting ID for verification...what right does it have to that data?

@Ehsan_Butt Now I understand why @amazon treats its workers like shit. They’re fucking genocidal, murderous Zionists, who think that everyone else is Amalek & Goyim, to be their slaves forever. Why would they care about workers when they’re committing genocide in Palestine?

@EyeonPalestine Well done to the protestors!

Amazon's AI enabling genocide via Project Nimbus is indefensible. This technology is documented in Israel's war on Gaza. The @UN_ITU must not partner with a firm supplying cloud services to Israeli weapons manufacturers.

Reports say AWS cloud supports Israeli arms makers like Rafael during Gaza attacks. That tech may enable grave abuses and war crimes. UN ties to Project Nimbus are shameful. Accountability now.

nothing says "AI for Good" like a $1.2B military contract in the fine print

Your post was processed by Amazon Web Services and revene recorded using Oracle financial software, Thank you for enriching US tech industries and the IDF, We couldn't have done without you.

Werner Vogels, you call this AI for Good while Amazon runs a $1.2B Nimbus deal with Israel. Reports show the IDF uses AWS for Gaza operations. Is profit more important than human rights? It is time to drop the contract. #DropNimbus

Project Nimbus shows how tech giants enable deadly AI targeting Palestinians. This $1.22B deal fuels violence and oppression in Gaza. Accountability and ethical responsibility from these companies are urgently needed.

Beautiful. Much Respect for this brother! Can someone please share his X handle?

Thank goodness the BDS Movement is just a bunch of scattered idiots who’ve swallowed a load of propaganda and are now spouting it non-stop. And they feel morally superior whilst doing so, when in fact they haven’t got a clue.

It is exhausting to watch Amazon lead a UN platform while Project Nimbus helps a military. Human rights don't seem to matter to these companies anymore. I am just tired of the hypocrisy. When will this stop?

Tech for "good" is a lie when Amazon's cloud enables ethnic cleansing. AWS sold services to Israeli arms makers during Gaza's bombardment. Their servers store intelligence for genocide. Drop Project Nimbus.

and there we have it new technology used for killing how sad for humanity, without focus on peace we are nowhere still hitting each other over the heads like cavemen

@Ehsan_Butt This is why I’d rather buy shit from Chinese communists than from fucking Zionist @amazon

@demicker Obscene seeing the scum still there at the end, tacit complicity in crimes.

Amazon's CTO is being hosted while AWS was sold to Rafael & Israel Aerospace Industries amid the Gaza bombardment. IDF Military Intelligence is getting AWS server farms. Project Nimbus supports ethnic cleansing. The UN/ITU connection is disgraceful.

#NoTechForGenocide #NoTechForApartheid #AmazonPowersGenocide @ITU, showcasing Amazon at an "AI for Good" summit is pure hypocrisy. Project Nimbus aids the Israeli Defense Ministry, enabling apartheid. It's disgraceful for the UN to partner with firms linked to genocide

👍🇵🇸❤️🕋🤲

.@Werner has no answer for his complicity in Israel's geno cidal war against the Palestinian people.

'AI systems (Lavender, Gospel, Where’s Daddy?) and cloud infrastructure like Project Nimbus create a digitized "kill chain" that accelerates decision-making.' #GazaGenocide‌ #Amazon #GazaHolocaust #Microsoft

@adrianlitvinoff Well done that activist!!! Shame the complacent & complicit genocide-enabling b*stards!!! #GazaGenocide‌ #FreePalestine 🇵🇸🍉🫒

I call on @ITU to drop Amazon's CTO. Project Nimbus powers Israel's military. Tech for apartheid is wrong. UN events must uphold human rights.

I admire people like this activist so much for their commitment and courage.

You could just give up your baby strangling and choose peace for once 🤷‍♂️
