Comment on Revealed: Israel demanded Google and Amazon use secret ‘wink’ to sidestep legal orders

born out of Israel’s concerns that data it moves into the global corporations’ cloud platforms could end up in the hands of foreign law enforcement authorities
Nothing says criminal regime quite like being terrified that others will found out what you're doing.
Israel demanded that if amazon or google comply with any requests from law enforcement, they send israel a secret payment equal to 1000 times the country's international dialing code in shekels.
A clause of "You have to tip us off if anyone is investigating our crimes", makes it clear that israel is intentionally committing crimes and google and amazon agreed to be their accomplices.

I’m going to be completely honest here, as a Palestinian living in diaspora.
“israel” is not a unique scenario. US companies have been endorsing and aiding genocides and atrocities since forever.

IBM, Ford, GM, they were all aiding the nazis in conducting their own holocaust. Shit floats to the top under capitalism. They would kill their own grandmother if it meant an extra bonus at the end of the year.
The CIA staged coups and committed massacres across the entire global south to ensure that US companies can continue the extraction of wealth.
My only hope is that these companies will be persecuted this time around, but that is a pipe dream.
