The anti-Israel employees of Amazon and Google

 Washington Examiner:

Hundreds of Amazon and Google employees signed an anonymous letter Tuesday condemning a deal made between the corporations and Israel that they argue will harm Palestinians.

The letter , signed "internally" by 300 employees from Amazon and 90 others from Google, was published in the Guardian on Tuesday but with no names attached. The employees said they chose to be anonymous out of fear of retaliation but wanted to voice their opposition to the Project Nimbus contract that provides cloud services to the Israeli military and government agencies.

"We are writing as Google and Amazon employees of conscience from diverse backgrounds. We believe that the technology we build should work to serve and uplift people everywhere, including all of our users," the letter said. "We cannot look the other way, as the products we build are used to deny Palestinians their basic rights, force Palestinians out of their homes and attack Palestinians in the Gaza Strip — actions that have prompted war crime investigations by the international criminal court ."

...

These people seem to have no conscience when it comes to protecting innocent Israelis from terrorist attacks by Palestinians with illegitimate claims against Israel.  Palestinians have no "basic right" to attack Israelis.  That is just an absurd position.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
