What did UK civil institutions do in the run up to fall of the apartied regime in South Africa or the rise of the Nazi party in 1930s Germany?
Entangled because they have investments in Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Microsoft and IBM.
Like every other investor in the Western world.
What’s the betting the UN report was prepared within Microsoft Windows using information from Google Searches and published on an AWS hosted website using IBM hardware?
Disgrace
There are a dozen major wars and as many active genocides in the world.
This fixation on Israel is weird.
Especially when the ‘entaglement’ here is via American tech giants. Not direct investment.
What a curious thing to make a UN report of
“The University of Edinburgh holds nearly £25.5 million (2.5 per cent of its endowment) in four tech giants – Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and IBM314 – central to the Israeli surveillance apparatus and the ongoing Gaza destruction”
An awfully weak argument. This makes pretty much anyone with a pension complicit then. These are some of the largest companies in the world, it’s almost inevitable that any individual or entity with a diversified portfolio will hold shares in one of these companies.
If you’re reading this, remember that Israel will outlive you. It will outlive your children and it will outlive their children.
You mean the registered “charity” Edinburgh university
All Scottish and British unis are wedded to China because we need their money, not to mention I have no doubt tied up with investments in opressive middle eastern nations
while I think criticism of Israeli policies are apropriate where due, maybe we shoudn’t single them out.
