This move by Google will further strengthen the hold that Israel has over the US. The Israeli tail is already wagging the US dog. Support for free speech, justice, and human rights is under severe attack in the US. Just look at what is happening at many of our prestigious universities: it has become a crime to support the human rights of Palestinians.

Excellent piece of reporting, Murtaza. What this reveals are two key points:

1. Silicon Valley multinational corporations have no ethical/moral compass at all. Nor do they have loyalty to the United States -- or any other nation. They are drawn to profit-making like a moth to a flame. Shameless automatons masquerading as human beings.

2. Israel now has the United States in its grip -- to use Taibbi's famous metaphor, Israel is "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of America, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells of money" -- or reeks of an anti-Israel ethos.

Scary, creepy times we're living in.

How deeply sold out by zionists have the American people been.

Netanyahu gets a standing ovation from CONGRESS.

"U.S. intelligence agencies rank Israel as one of their top counterintelligence threats after countries like China, Russia and Iran,”.

Thank you for sharing this. I appreciate your work. Is there a possibility for Drop site to bring a privacy expert on for an interview, to explain alternatives to google etc. Also types of phones that journalists use to protect privacy. I think this is important for everyone to be able to retain their freedom of thought.

I am thoroughly disgusted as an anti-Zionist Jew. it is offensive and degrading to support country that since 1948 has tried to annihilate Palestinians which now is an unbearable , dehumanized genocide perpetrated by a racist, nationalist ideology. Complete Insanity!

Only 20 years ago, the Google IPO was launched with the motto "don't be evil". Now they sack staff who protest support of genocide.

$32B for a five year old company... Hmmm... Nothing to look at there.

Disgusting. Google and other tech companies that behave similarly should be ashamed. Unfortunately, none of them know the definition of shame.

The Hind Rajab Foundation is launching urgent legal actions to block Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned visit to Hungary. Netanyahu is currently wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. HRF will petition the ICC, call on the Hungarian Public Prosecutor to arrest him, and notify European airspace authorities to deny him passage. Legal teams across Europe are also preparing to activate universal jurisdiction if he travels beyond Hungary. HRF urges all European states to uphold international law and refuse safe haven to suspected war criminals.

Please join me in making a contribution.

DAWN has urged the ICC prosecutor to investigate and prosecute former President Biden, State Secretary Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin for their personal roles in aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza as part of his ongoing investigation into the situations in Palestine since 2014.

Let’s give them our support. Maybe they will expand their complaint to include this latest US administration, and include all the leaders of the western nations supporting this genocide.

Thank you for this report. We really need to be careful how we use our tech and what we can do to avoid supporting genocide with our business or money. It is a scary thing to consider how they may use that data for draconian purposes.
