Google and Amazon's involvement in the Gaza war stems from their contract under the Nimbus project, a $1.2 billion deal providing cloud services, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning tools to the Israeli government, including its Ministry of Defense. Despite claims that the project does not directly serve military purposes, evidence and statements by Israeli officials suggest otherwise.

The Nimbus project has been leveraged to enhance the Israeli military's capabilities, including surveillance, facial recognition, and data processing, which reportedly aid military operations and monitoring of Palestinians. Protesters within Google and Amazon have raised alarms since 2021, arguing that the project facilitates human rights abuses and reinforces Israel's policies of apartheid and suppression.

Documents reviewed by media outlets confirm that Google provides infrastructure and consulting services to Israel's Ministry of Defense, enabling advanced technological integration in military and security operations. Israeli officials have credited the project with bolstering battlefield strategies during the Gaza war, directly contradicting Google’s public claims of neutrality and non-involvement in military operations.

These revelations highlight the entanglement of major tech companies in geopolitical conflicts, underscoring the ethical and human rights concerns raised by their employees and international observers.
