John,

In August, as people in Gaza were being starved, one YouTube ad by the Israeli foreign ministry showed misleading images of markets full of food. The text on the ad read “There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie.” 

The ad, which was launched 2 days after the UN declared famine, received 7 million views in English alone. When complaints about the ad began pouring in, Google ruled that the ad wasn't misleading and therefore could stay up. 

Of course it did. Because the tech company has a $45 million contract to spread lies on Israel’s behalf! 

Let’s show Google that it’s a mistake to side with war criminals and genocide – just like we’re doing with Microsoft. Add your name to the global petition and Ekō will launch a suite of tactics to stop this genocidal propaganda machine.

Tell Google: cut ties with Netanyahu’s propaganda machine now.

Our pressure on these genocide-enabling tech giants is working. After we launched a huge campaign on Microsoft and filed a historically large shareholder resolution about the company’s due diligence failures, Microsoft announced it was cutting one of its contracts with the Israeli military. 

In the case of Google, the Israeli propaganda deal is only part of the story. Google is deeply embedded in Israel’s war machine through Project Nimbus, its multibillion-dollar cloud contract with the Israeli military. 

But resistance is growing inside the company: tech workers are fighting back, demanding an end to Nimbus and risking lay offs. Let's build on the worker rebellion and create a massive public outcry to force Google to stop enabling Israel's war machine.

Tell Google: stop spreading Netanyahu’s lies now.

Ekō researchers were among the first to uncover Google’s role in Israel’s propaganda campaign -- exposing how YouTube is allowing the Israeli government to publish propaganda videos that violate the platform's own policies. Now, with a growing movement behind us, we can push even harder to stop Google from profiting off genocide.
