Google Co-Founder Brin Denounces UN Gaza Genocide Report as Antisemitic

Google co-founder Sergey Brin strongly criticized a recent United Nations report accusing Google and other tech companies of enabling Israeli military actions in Gaza through cloud and AI services, labeling the UN as "transparently antisemitic." Brin expressed that the use of the term "genocide" in relation to Gaza is deeply offensive to Jewish people who have suffered actual genocides and cautioned against citing the UN report, authored by Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, whom the U.S. government has called to remove due to alleged anti-Israel bias. The UN report highlighted Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion cloud deal between Google, Amazon, and Israel, claiming it facilitated Israeli military operations after Hamas's attack. Brin's remarks came during an internal Google DeepMind forum amid ongoing internal dissent and protests at Google over its ties to Israel, which have led to employee firings. The U.S. Mission to the UN publicly urged the UN Secretary-General to condemn Albanese's conduct, citing her history of antisemitism. Google has defended its position, dismissing the report as biased and misleading while addressing employee concerns over its involvement with Israel.
