American students refuse job offers from Google, Amazon because of Project Nimbus



Over 1,100 STEM students from 120+ US universities signed a pledge to boycott Google and Amazon job offers until they stop participating in Project Nimbus, providing cloud services to the Israeli government. Signatories include students from Stanford, Berkeley, and the University of San Francisco, major sources of tech talent for the companies. The petition was organized by NOTA (No Tech for Apartheid), a coalition of tech workers, Muslim activists, and Jewish Voice for Peace, accusing the companies of supporting Israeli apartheid. Activists like Eddie Hatfield, fired from Google for protesting, are leading the movement, which has included protests at Google offices in New York, Seattle, and Sunnyvale.
