Google co‑founder blasts UN report as transparently antisemitic, defending tech giants. The term underscores his view of the report’s bias without changing its
In a bold internal message circulated at Google’s AI arm, DeepMind, co‑founder Sergey Brin criticized the recent UN report accusing tech firms of profiting from Israel’s military operations in Gaza. Brin called the report transparently antisemitic, arguing that labeling the situation as genocide is profoundly offensive to Jewish communities.
The contentious UN Human Rights Council report, penned by Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, alleges that companies like Google and Amazon supported Israel's military through cloud and AI technologies under Project Nimbus. Brin contended that equating Gaza's conflict to genocide trivializes real historical atrocities against Jews, and warned colleagues to be careful citing transparently antisemitic organizations.
Brin’s comments, shared internally, prompted lively debate among employees. Google executives stressed that his remarks responded to a plainly biased report and aimed to push back on misleading narratives. The UN clarified that the rapporteur acts alone, not representing the Secretary‑General. Meanwhile, the report has sparked international backlash with the U.S. government imposing sanctions on Albanese.
This incident brings Google to the center of a widespread introspection about corporate participation in geopolitical conflicts. The use of the word * transparently * by Brin further intensifies their criticism - it is not only biased, but clearly biased. This reaction exposes deep tussle between the neutrality of the Silicon Valley; human inquiry and the moral aspects associated with the role of technology in the war.
As the debate is intensifying both outside and inside, Brin's intervention can motivate the review of policies in Google and other technical companies, making them more carefully checking how and where their equipment is being used. It also reminds that the leadership from the top level can not only give a new shape to the discourse, but also demand clearer accountability.
