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.
I mean with antisemitism accusations or without them, gazan are genocided. Nobody who isn’t a scum believe in those accusations but those accusations can increase the real antisemitism
This is also about proportionality and perspective. I care a lot more about people being killed than about one particular group being casually biggoted against. I see antisemitism as a comparatively minor injustice when compared directly to the injustice of Israeli crimes against humanity. And no one talks about the vast issue of anti-muslim bigotry and anti muslim violence, which seems to me to be far more virulent and damaging in its injustice and violence than the effects of anti semitism.
I say people who wring their hands about anti semitism should get in line with all the rest of the victims of terrible biggotry while we all deal with this israeli terrorism and colonization problem. Anti semitism is a problem, but it doesnt rank highly against other more directly impactful problems, right? I rank it right up there with British anti-Irish sentiment. Anti Irish sentiment is a problem, but not worth imprisoning people for years for having that bigotry.
Anti semitism is nothing compared to the 80 years of murderous crimes by the zionists, with their laughing “mowing the grass” strategies. Its nothing compared to anti black prejudice in the US. And nothing compared to oppression of women globally.
