The recent shooting in Israel highlights the need for history lesson follow-up and a new hol responsibilities initiative. The transcript also touches on the current Israeli political climate and protests leading to accusations of hipsterism. A former employee was fired for refusing to provide cloud computing services, but the details are unclear. The protest against Google's Nimbus deal is also highlighted, with employees demanding that the government provide cloud computing services, but there is uncertainty and confusion among employees.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			I see, I didn't there's a picture
that Ryan was going to put up
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:12
			right now of a building where it
looks like two rooms there are
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			blown out. It looks like this.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			It looked like two rooms are blown
out of the hotel. I didn't know
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			that. I didn't think that that's
possibly, could possibly be the
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			hospital room where these twins,
their mom and their grandma were
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			targeted, because there was no way
to corroborate, right? I mean, it
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			just looks like a building, and
there's a lot of fake news out
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			there, and you didn't want to post
something it turns out to be fake
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:43
			news. So in the beginning, I was,
like, skeptical, but repeatedly,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			there are people who have
confirmed that this, in fact, is
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			the hospital, and this was the
room. So it's not like this was an
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:55
			attack on a building and it just
happened to be that she was there,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			no nothing else in the hospital
was attacked. So this was a
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:05
			targeted attack. I don't know who
Ryan raspiani is, but I just
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			pulled it up because he has a
picture cam on my timeline.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			So he says I'm convinced they
targeted this family. And there's
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:17
			another woman who puts a video
says that either the mother or the
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:22
			grandmother had posted on Facebook
something against the Israel
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			government, and that's the result
of this. Okay, look at this. It's
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:33
			called Project Nimbus. Project
Nimbus uses AI to target homes.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			How do they how do they know
what's what in Project Nimbus?
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			Well, we got to find out. This is
the new Holocaust folks and all
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			these companies and all these
individuals and all these people,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			including religious people like
Charlie Kirk, who was supporting
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:51
			Israel, Die Hard for Israel.
They're they're going to go, they
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			are going down in the wrong side
of history. They're going to go
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			down along the same where it's
going to be worse than the people
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:03
			who supported Hitler. It's going
to be worse, because this time
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			around, you had any there was no
Hitler before that. Hitler, right?
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			Like in the recent in that world,
there was nobody that there was
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			an, oh, that is so bad, we have to
avoid ever doing that again,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			right?
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			Hitler came and and the the worst
person before him, in the eyes of
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			the Europeans, was Napoleon. He
didn't commit atrocities. So
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			Hitler comes around at a time
where there wasn't this precedent
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			of having
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			someone be that bad and genocide
of people like this. So now you're
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			doing it. On top of that, you're
going to be worse, because on top
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			of that, you were the victims of
Hitler,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			and you've been talking Hitler,
Hitler, Hitler, and you made him
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			to be the new Satan in the world.
Fine,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			you also have to have a bad
example, right? You always you
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			need to have a villain that
everyone avoids, to be like.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			So you have no excuse this time
around, yet, Charlie Kirk and all
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:04
			these fake types and all these
nations and all these companies,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			you're on the wrong side of
history. We're gonna look in 30
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			years back. You guys better put
your head in the sand, because the
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			the information's not coming years
later in a documentary of
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			uncovered footage, no, it's coming
at the moment, I just was
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			scrolling through and I saw
Charlie Kirk say, I'm tired of
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:25
			this Israel hate. They're a moral
nation trying to fight a moral
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			war, and they just happen to be to
not be able to avoid killing kids.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			And if they wanted a genocide, why
don't they nuke them all? What a
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			stupid question. What a stupid
comment.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:38
			Because obviously, if you nuke
them all, it's going to look so
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			obvious that you're genociding.
Secondly, they cannot, because
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:46
			what the nuclear winter, the wind
will push all that stuff over into
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:51
			your country, right? You can't
nuke your neighbor. You can't nuke
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:57
			your neighbor. All the toxic
smoke, fumes, all that is going to
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			come into your country, and you're
going to look so bad in the world.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			But they're probably trying to do
a little here, a little there, a
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			little bit here and a little bit
there, to decrease that
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			population. I mean, John
Mearsheimer himself. He's the
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			expert on Israel's thought and the
lobby's thought, and he's telling
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:17
			you, from day one, all they want
their only solution, literally
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			their own, their version of the
final solution. This is the new
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:23
			holocaust. He just switched sides.
They were the victim on one side
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:27
			now they're the perpetrators. On
the other side is to eliminate the
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:33
			Palestinians. If you keep them,
you're an apartheid state. If you
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:37
			turn democratic, your country
ceases to exist within 10 years,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			because you're going to be voted
out of everything. You only have
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:44
			one solution, ethnically cleanse
these Arabs, little by little.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			Force them out. Force them all out
of Gaza. Kill them all. Then start
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			living there. And he said the
solution for them is to initiate
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			and kick off a broader mess, a
bigger war.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			Google employees based in the US
have staged protests as the tech
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			giant's offices in New York.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			California and Seattle to oppose
the $1.2 billion contract with the
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			Israeli government known as
Project Nimbus, the joint contract
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			between Google and Amazon signs in
2021
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:17
			aims to provide cloud computing
infrastructure, AI and other
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			technology services
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:23
			to the Israeli government and its
military, which has faced
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:29
			condemnation for its war in Gaza,
okay, described by UN experts and
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			several countries as a genocide,
Israel has killed more than 34,000
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:38
			This is old numbers, probably past
50. Now, 50,000 Palestinians, and
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			they're intentionally, I have to
believe it's intentionally
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			targeting kids. You got to believe
that potentially targeting kids.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:50
			They believe that I told you Isaac
Mizrahi. We saw his his clip.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			Yusuf Mizrahi
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:56
			destroy vast swaths of Palestinian
coastal enclave, and then after
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			October 7, even more. Here is a
look at why tech workers are
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			opposing so what are they? What is
this? Project Nimbus? It's led by
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:07
			no tech for apartheid. The group
of the employees are called no
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			tech for apartheid, which has been
organizing Google employees
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			against project Nimbus. Tech
workers are demanding that they
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			have a right to know how their
labor is going to be used, but
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			there's little clarity about the
project.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			It's impossible to feel excited
and energized to work when you
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			know your company's providing the
Israeli government products that
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			are helping to commit atrocities
in Palestine.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			Google is offering advanced AI
capabilities to Israel, which
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			could harvest data for facial
recognition.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			As of yet, the article is not
telling us what exactly it is
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:46
			there's a lack of transparency
around this project data for the
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			Israeli governments, of course, is
likely to extend to the army. All
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			right. Project Nimbus is a cloud
computing project that the Israeli
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			government's military. Israeli
finance ministry announced that
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			the contract is to provide the
government, defense establishment,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			others, with all encompassing
cloud solution,
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			although project Nimbus specific
mission has not yet been revealed.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			Blah, blah,
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			blah, so, so it's it's just vague,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			right now, we're not It's not
vague to them, obviously vague to
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:15
			us.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			But another Google Cloud software
engineer was fired after a video
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			shouting, I refused to build
technology that empowers genocide.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:32
			Let's continue reading now. Tech
giant Google fired an employee.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			This is way back in March, by the
way, just to read about this
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:40
			project, Nimbus, to get educated
on this subject matter, there's an
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			event New York City employees
stood up during the keynote
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			address by Barack reggaev, head of
Google Israel, saying In a video
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			posted online that went viral, I
refuse to build technology that
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			empowers genocide. The employee
specifically called out project
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:59
			Nimbus, $1.2 billion deal with
Google and Amazon that supplies
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:04
			Israel and its military with cloud
computing services project Nimbus
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			puts Palestinian community members
in danger. He said
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			he's a hero. This behavior is not
okay, regardless of the issue. And
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			the employee was terminated
immediately for yelling, speaking
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:15
			out.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			I bet you if the employee spoke
out and said, you know, all
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			genders matter, blah, blah, blah,
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			you wouldn't be touched. And in
fact, the CEO would say, we hear
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:31
			you right. We respect and we
encourage our employees to talk
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			and express themselves.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			In response to the firing, no tech
for apartheid released a statement
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			rebuking the tech company you has
engaged in a clear cut act of
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:46
			retaliation against its own worker
when you're in bed with Israel,
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			Israel comes first. You come
second. You know, this funny
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:54
			watching the America first
Republicans, how they basically
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			are now Israel first, all of them,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			except for, you know, the
hardcores, what they call
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:09
			some of these hardcores, who are
just like ideologically staunch
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			and they're a minority to be
flicked aside. They make a lot of
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			noise. That's it. This world is
not a world for ideological
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			people. It's a world for people
who are pragmatic. I mean the
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			political world. I mean, the
worker said, I'm proud to be fired
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			for refusing to be complicit in
genocide. I.
