Google co-founder Sergey Brin calls U.N. ‘transparently antisemitic’ after report on tech firms and Gaza (www.washingtonpost.com)

His comments came in response to a U.N. report released last month that alleged technology firms including Google and its parent company Alphabet had profited from “the genocide carried out by Israel” in Gaza by providing cloud and AI technologies to the Israeli government and military.

“With all due respect, throwing around the term genocide in relation to Gaza is deeply offensive to many Jewish people who have suffered actual genocides. I would also be careful citing transparently antisemitic organizations like the UN in relation to these issues,” Brin wrote in a forum for staff at Google DeepMind, the company’s artificial intelligence division, where workers were debating the report, according to the screenshots.

Sergey Brin is a Nazi and a genocide enabler.

Calling Jews Nazis is not something I had on my 2025 bingo, how the turn tables

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

Maybe fascist is a more accurate term

[–] db2@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Was it being accurate on the list? There really was a Jews for Hitler group back then.

And also the guy whose company, in the olden days of Hangouts and Google Wave, many people considered to be "the corporation of good".

And compared to Facebook, Apple, of course MS, yadda-yadda that was easy to believe.

So - that's the price of "cool and respectable".

Germans murdering jews - poor jews. Jews murdering Palestinians - poor jews. What am I missing here? 🤔

With all due respect

Buddy, nobody cares about your respect if you can't make simple choices like this.

Lots of people are annoyed by genocide, I would say more so than those annoyed by the use of the term. That doesn’t even count the dead.

Of you contract to a military that genocides, you’re complicit. I don’t run a company working with the IDF and I knew it was a risky endeavour.
