[Ynet] Over 1,100 students studying technology, engineering, and mathematics from more than 120 universities across the United States signed a pledge on Tuesday not to accept jobs or internships at Google or Amazon until the companies cease their involvement in Project Nimbus, which provides cloud computing services and infrastructure to the Israeli government. "Is that a Venti caramel macchiato or latte?" I'm making a pledge not to play for NBA

The names please.
So when their resume crosses someone's desk, it can be $hit-canned immediately.
Let them stand by their little social media whine for attention, and allow them to experience the real employment world ramifications of being an open Racist.

"The pledge, which marks the latest backlash against Google and Amazon, was organized by No Tech for Apartheid (NOTA), a coalition of tech workers and activists from Muslim grassroots movement MPower Change and advocacy group Jewish Voice for Peace."
I gather that NOTA is the source of the claim. I'd guess the number claimed is real--if they were making it up I don't think they'd choose such a piddling little number.

I bet 100% of them are STEM student stat padded DEI recruits.
So they think they have juice because companies are "requested" to have certain DEI scores, but why would colossi like GG and AM hire one of them who will be poo poo'd through graduation no matter their grade, when they could hire some kid from India who makes fits that bill, has three languages, and a work ethic?

There are already enough crazy antisemitic conspiracy theories accusing Jews of secretly controlling America, and creating blacklists doesn't help.

An average of about 9 students per university. Not exactly a stampede. I wonder how that number compares to students who would jump at a chance to work at either company.
[NEWARAB] Wikipedia editors have concluded that the pro-Israeli Anti-Defamation League (ADL) advocacy group is a "generally unreliable" source of information on Israel’s war in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip, and are moving to list the group among banned or partially banned sources.
And we know what to think about Wikipedia editors.
Editors who voted in favour of the ban focused on the ADL's behaviour during Israel's war in Gaza, which has killed 37,396 Paleostinians since 7 October. They also took into account the ADL's conduct during a wave of pro-Paleostinian student protests which have swept US college campuses this year as the war on Gaza continued.
Following a vote, the online encyclopedia's editors also agreed by an overwhelming majority that the organization should not be treated as a trusted source on antisemitism, following the ADL’s track record of labelling legitimate criticism of Israel as antisemitic.
A formal declaration regarding this is expected to occur next week, The Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) reported on Tuesday.
"The ADL no longer appears to adhere to a serious, mainstream and intellectually cogent definition of antisemitism, but has instead given into the shameless politicisation of the very subject that it was originally esteemed for being reliable on," wrote an editor known as Iskandar323, as cited by Israeli media.
Wikipedia’s decision comes months after editors have debated the ADL’s legitimacy as a trustworthy source.
Editors took into account incidents such the ADL's CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, comparing Paleostinian keffiyehs to swastikas, labelling pro-Paleostinian students as "Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... proxies" and comparing anti-Zionism to white supremacy
...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values... .

This is the foundation that legendarily said truth gets in the way of getting things done.

[TOLONEWS] The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... warned of the threat of increased locust swarms in the fertile regions of northern Afghanistan. I'm sure there's some passage in the koran that'll deal with it in no time.
The organization added that the agricultural lands in northern Afghanistan have faced locust swarms for the second consecutive year.
Richard Trenchard, the FAO representative in Afghanistan, said: "This, [standing in a fertile area] just two or three days ago, was a wheat field with wheat growing well, and now, the locusts, they’ve just taken everything. This is a family’s food, a family’s income for the next few months, and it’s just gone. "
Trenchard emphasized that more efforts need to be made to address the locust swarms in the agricultural lands.
He added: "The Moroccan locust is one of the world’s greatest threats to plants. And this is why it’s so, so important that the Ministry of Agriculture here is launching an enormous campaign here to rid of the north of Afghanistan, Afghanistan’s breakfast, of this incredible threat now."
Some farmers said their crops have been destroyed due to the locust swarms.
"Look, from the side where I planted, the locusts have started eating, and nothing is left. If they eat the leaves, it is now their season, and nothing will remain for us," said Mohammad Ibrahim, a farmer.
This farmer also urged aid organizations and authorities to cooperate with him to prevent further destruction of his cultivated land.
He told TOLOnews: "I have 20 acres of cultivated land here. 11 acres are destroyed, and 9 acres are left. I had planted wheat. If the season passes, how can I support my family?"
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Afghanistan is currently a poor country and due to the negative impact on the economy, more than 28 million people in Afghanistan rely on international aid to survive.

This is a family’s food, a family’s income for the next few months, and it’s just gone.
I'm sure Karim Khan will prove it's the fault of the Zionist entity.
[TOLONEWS] Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, has described the report by UN Rapporteur Richard Bennett and representatives of some countries in the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... Human Rights Council meeting as an attempt to mislead public opinion ahead of the third Doha meeting.
Mujahid said that the Islamic Emirate appreciates the support of some countries in the UN Human Rights Council meeting.
Mujahid told TOLOnews: "The report by some members of the United Nations, especially the report by Richard Bennett, is an attempt to mislead minds ahead of the Doha meeting. Unfortunately, some individuals with grudges in the United Nations always try to present incorrect reports about Afghanistan."
The Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... i Ministry of Foreign Affairs also said in a statement that Afghanistan is currently facing increasing challenges economically and in the human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. situation, especially the rights of women and girls.
"The State of Qatar stressed that the recovery from long decades of conflict and deteriorating human rights conditions in Afghanistan now faces increasing challenges in the humanitarian, economic, and living fields, as well as critical human rights conditions, especially the rights of women and girls," reads part of the statement of Qatar’s Foreign Ministry.
Richard Bennett, the UN Human Rights Council's special rapporteur for Afghanistan, criticized the human rights situation in Afghanistan at the 56th session of the Human Rights Council, saying that violence against women in Afghanistan is strong and widespread.
In his speech, he called on the Islamic Emirate authorities to address what he believes are discriminatory and restrictive policies that deprive women of their basic rights and to provide equal access to education for girls.
"These Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... attacks on women's rights are intensified, pervasive, and systematic, pursued through various policies and orders, all systematically cooperating with each other," said Bennett.
Some analysts believe that the Islamic Emirate's adherence to human rights issues outlined in the UN Charter can lead to resolving existing differences between the Islamic Emirate and the international community.

[AFRICANEWS] The United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... on Tuesday announced the delivery of aid to Haiti to caution against the devastating effects of the hurricane ...as in blow me dow!... The UN's deputy spokesperson Farhan Had announced Tuesday that the aid will help hundreds of displaced families in Haiti due to the ongoing violence and the upcoming hurricane.
"Two cargo flights organized through the World Food Program (WFP) landed in the capital, Port au Prince, carrying 55 tonnes of medicine, shelter and hygiene materials. These supplies will be used to assist displaced people and to prepare for the hurricane season. WFP School Meals program has now distributed some 30 million meals across the country since the start of the current school year. Of these, nearly 17 million meals have been provided through its program that supports local farmers. As we previously said, the education sector has been severely impacted by the recent violence, with more than 200,000 children and 4000 teach," said Farhan Haq, the Deputy Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General.
Haiti experiences the hurricane season beginning of June and runs through November and is forecast to be severe this year. A gang-fueled crisis has devastated Haiti, and the U.N. estimates 360,000 people in the Caribbean nation are displaced.
[Breitbart] Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has admitted that Islamist terrorists have likely infiltrated the European Union through the Ukraine refugee scheme, as a terror cell believed to have come to Germany from Kyiv goes to trial.
In its annual report on extremist threats, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), Germany’s domestic spying branch, said that the threat of jihadist terrorism remains high, with around 27,200 suspected Islamic extremists in the country.
Head of the BvF Thomas Haldenwang admitted that it is likely that Islamic terror groups used schemes for Ukrainian refugees to sneak sleeper cells into the European Union.
Haldenwang highlighted the threat posed by the Central Asian ISIS branch Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISPK)/(ISIS-K), the group believed to be responsible for the Moscow concert hall attack that killed 145 and injured hundreds more in March carried out by gunmen from Tajikistan.
“The ISPK has also managed to bring followers to Western Europe, possibly via the wave of refugees from Ukraine, who are now staying here in various Western European countries,” the spy chief admitted in comments reported by Der Tagesspiegel.
Nevertheless, the Angela Merkel-appointed spy chief maintained that the largest danger posed to German democracy was from “right-wing extremism”.
According to his report, There were around 40,600 suspected right-wing extremists, an estimated 14,500 of whom are believed to be willing to use violence. Meanwhile, the BvF said that there were around 37,000 suspected left-wing extremists, with around 11,200 capable of taking violent actions.
Meanwhile, the domestic intel agency also said that there was a 56.6 per cent increase in reported antisemitic incidents in Germany last year, with a 45 per cent increase in violent anti-Jewish offences.
The admission about the Islamist threat comes amid a debate in Germany surrounding opening up deportations of illegal migrants and foreign criminals back to countries like Afghanistan and Syria which have been prevented in recent years as they were deemed to be unsafe nations to send migrants back to.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that his government would start to look to restart deportations to such countries earlier this month following the mass stabbing which saw a police officer slain at an anti-Islamification demonstration in Mannheim by a failed asylum seeker from Afghanistan.
“It outrages me when someone who has sought protection here commits the most serious crimes. Such criminals should be deported, even if they come from Syria and Afghanistan,” the chancellor said.
“Serious criminals and terrorist threats have no place here… In such cases, Germany’s security interests outweigh the interests of the perpetrator.”
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Monday that her department, which is responsible for immigration in Germany, has begun efforts to begin deportations to Afghanistan and Syria as well as to Uzbekistan.
Alleged Islamists taking advantage of the enormous movement of Ukrainians to enter Europe is said to be at the heart of a terror case ongoing in German courts. As reported, authorities arrested a so-called terror cell on accusations of seeking to target a female-led mosque in Berlin known as a liberal safe haven for Muslim gays in the German capital city.
The suspected Islamic extremists, comprised of migrant men from Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan, are believed to have entered Germany amid the mass flow of refugees into the European Union from Ukraine following the Russian invasion of the country in 2022.
Some of the alleged extremists are said to have contact with successful Islamic State terrorists in other parts of the world and one of those arrested is reported to have previously led an ISIS terror cell in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.

Yale Daily News
Kevin Chalker, who taught two classes at the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs in Fall 2018 and Spring 2020, had been working as a spy for the Qatari government since 2010, helping them secure the rights to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup and subsequently monitoring nations who voiced criticism over their bid, according to an investigation from the Associated Press.
Chalker worked for the Central Intelligence Agency for around five years as an operations officer before leaving to start his own private security firm, Global Risk Advisory. His firm was contracted by the Qatari government to gather cell phone data, among other intelligence, on other nations who were competing to host the FIFA World Cup — the world’s most popular sporting event. He was first hired in 2010, when Qatar was competing to host the tournament, and signed a further set of contracts with the Gulf state in the summer of 2017, a year before he began as a senior fellow at Yale. It is not clear when the contract ended or whether Chalker spied for the Qatari government while teaching at Yale. Chalker did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
