Throughout the more than 15 months of the Gaza war, technology companies—mostly American—have consistently aided the Zionist regime in committing its crimes in the region. Google is one of these businesses.
Although the company's collaboration with the Zionist regime has been the subject of numerous reports, the Washington Post recently released a report that included additional details.
Since the first weeks of the regime's war in Gaza, Google staff have been collaborating to supply the Israeli army with the company's most advanced artificial intelligence technology, according to documents the Washington Post was able to obtain.
Google has been attempting to demonstrate that it has taken a stance against the Israeli government after its employees objected to a cloud computing contract with Israel, but internal documents reveal that the company directly supports the Israeli military. After protesting the Nimbus contract, Google fired over fifty employees in 2024.
According to documents obtained by the Washington Post, in the weeks following the start of the war, a Google employee working in the cloud computing division increased requests for more access to the Israeli Ministry of Defense's artificial intelligence technology.
Projects within Google's cloud computing division are detailed in the documents, which demonstrate the Israeli Army's pressing desire to increase its usage of Google's Vertex service—which allows users to apply artificial intelligence algorithms to their data.
According to one document, a Google employee warned that if the company did not provide more access quickly, the Israeli military would instead turn to Amazon, Google’s cloud computing rival. Amazon also works with the Israeli regime under the Nimbus contract.
In a different document from mid-November 2023, a Google employee expresses gratitude to a colleague for assisting in processing an Israeli Army request. The documents don't specify how Google's AI technology would be used by the Israeli army or how it might be applied to military operations.
Other documents, dated from the spring and summer of 2024, show Google employees requesting more access to AI technology for the Israeli military.
According to documents, in November 2024, after a year of airstrikes had left most of Gaza in ruins, the Israeli military was still utilizing Google's most advanced artificial intelligence technology. Later that month, a Google employee asked the Israeli military for access to the company's Gemini AI technology.
Google and Amazon representatives, as well as Israeli military representatives, declined to comment on the documents.
Google has previously asserted that the Nimbus contract with the Israeli government did not pertain to military or intelligence-related highly sensitive or classified missions.
The Washington Post's documents don't demonstrate how Google's AI capabilities are being used by the Israeli military.
At a conference in early 2024, Israeli Internal Cyber Director General Gabe Portnoy acknowledged that the Nimbus contract would directly support military programs.
"Unusual things happen during combat because of Nimbus; these things are crucial to victory," he stated.
For years, the Israeli military has been honing its artificial intelligence skills to process surveillance photos and choose military targets more quickly.
After the Israeli military launched its offensive in Gaza on October 7, it turned to an artificial intelligence tool called Habsora (a tool designed by the regime) to provide commanders with thousands of human and infrastructure targets to bomb, contributing to the violence in Gaza, according to previous investigations by the Washington Post.
A senior Israeli military official said in an interview in the summer of 2024 that the occupying army had made a huge investment in new cloud technologies, hardware and other supporting computing systems, which is usually done in partnership with American companies.
Google has been the Israeli regime's main contractor for artificial intelligence ventures since 2021 (when the Nimbus contract was signed).
