Nvidia has confirmed “Globes” report that it has chosen the Israel Land Authority (ILA) area in Kiryat Tivon to build its huge campus that will accommodate up to 10,000 employees.
According to the illustration published by the US chip giant, this will be a large campus inspired by the design of the company’s new iconic headquarters in Santa Clara. When built it will be surrounded by commercial areas and restaurants with investment in parks and green spaces.
Lot of poison in these comments. You know that regular people live in Israel, right? People like you, with no control over the big decisions. Just like Palestinians can’t control Hamas, Russians can’t control Putin, US citizens can’t control Trump, and so on.
You are crossing the line. One comment called it a scumbag country. One comment suggested they’d be happy to see Iran’s missiles hit an office building if built in Israel (ostensibly with Israelies in it at the time).
I understand you have feelings about the war. Makes sense. It’s horrible. But, this is beyond that. Now you’re just othering Israelies while claiming they are othering Palestinians.
It makes no sense to just wish whole populations destruction. To call an entire country scumbag is just silly. No matter who is doing it.
I actually expected to find an interesting conversation about why Nvidia would make such a choice and what that would mean for the chip markets, and the war, and so on. Instead, I just found hate in it’s silliest and least intellectual form.
It’s not a war, that would imply there was some sort of ability for semi-organized resistance…it is quite literally pure genocide.
According to polling, Israelis overwhelmingly support the genocide. They are complicit.
All of the ‘regular people’ living in Israel should get out at their earliest convenience and stop supporting the genocide state.
I’ll disagree. The Israeli leadership is doing horrible things and the only way for those of us not in Israel to attempt to stop them is to boycott all of Israel - we have no way of picking and choosing products/services from Israel that will help/hurt the regime. Moves like this by NVIDIA are seen as subverting the boycott in a very significant way and draw out the negative responses you see here. The only people that can legitimately change the Israeli leadership are the Israeli people and they are going to face negative opinions from outside until they do. I understand very well that I’m extremely lucky that I live in a country that has not been taken over by fascists and I do what I can to keep it that way.
What you wrote is only partially true because people of USA and Israel have influence on their domestic&foreign policy with democracy that they enjoy.
