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.

      Russia’s attack on Ukraine is not just to change political boundaries. It is to wipe out the Ukraine culture and its people

      It share the same goal as israel. Israel is still worse. Russians claim that ukranians are just russians . Israel want to wipe palestinians because they believe that they are the only who has the right to live in palestine

      Yes, what makes it a genocide is the intent to target the civilian population belonging to that nation. It does not necessarily have to be about race or religion, it can still be genocide if it targets the nation. Russia doesn’t have a problem with the kids race, religion or ancestry, but with them being raised under Ukranian society and values.

      Yay me. Got my first comment removed on Lemmy.

      What an honor, especially considering it broke none of listed rules here
