I Support the Goal of Amazon Employees to Fulfill Their Ideals & Avoid Hypocrisy!

30/5/2021

 
Because this is the Internet, and because any ability to perceive various uses of humor (sarcasm, irony, pathos, etc.) disappears during online browsing, please be forewarned that a large part of this post is written tongue-in-cheek.
What's more, I think that's what space aliens are REALLY mining here on Earth, IMHO. If you've noticed, the rise in UFO sightings has coincided with the decrease in the ability to utilize or perceive humor in writing. I really think I'm on to something here...

Hamodia recently published an article about people who clearly lack even the vaguest awareness of on which side their bread is buttered:
https://hamodia.com/2021/05/27/amazon-employees-ask-bosses-support-palestinians/

Their 4th demand states:
To sever business contracts and corporate donations with companies, organizations, and/or governments such as the Israeli Defense Forces.

Ironically, a significant part of their Amazon salary & source of their jobs comes from...Israel.

​For example:

  • The USB flash drive we all use (and is widely sold Amazon, and which is used widely by Amazon employees & customers for Amazon digital products) was developed by the Israeli M-Systems in conjunction with IBM.

(Although to be fair, China, Singapore, and Taiwan all claim to have developed it independently at the same time.)

  • Intel 8088 processer, the first personal computer microprocessor (used by IBM), which inspired many Intel "offspring" in that field.
 
  • Waze, the popular GPS system.
I certainly hope these Amazon employees never use it and make no money off of selling anything to do with Waze, so as not to benefit their Israeli producers in any way, in accordance with the demands detailed in their impassioned letter.

  • I'm also very concerned about Amazon's selling of the Quicktionary translator pen, first produced in Yerushalayim by Wizcom Technologies.
I certainly hope these concerned Amazon employees will stop making any money selling these pens and refuse to use them themselves...EVER.

  • These Amazon employees also must not have anything to do with the Wix webhost.
Do they know that every time they visit a website hosted by Wix, they are supporting an Israeli company in Tel Aviv? Do they ever use Wix for their own websites? I sincerely hope not!

  • I also hope they never sell or use anything to do with VoIP technology, produced by VocalTech in Herzilyah.
These Amazon employees MUST avoid this technology like the plague!!!

​The origins of VoIP are worse than any of the above.

Read this scandalous reveal from Wikipedia:
​VocalTec was founded in 1985 by Alon Cohen and Lior Haramaty while still serving together in the IDF, and was officially incorporated in 1989.

Did you get the "while STILL serving in together in the IDF" part?

It doesn't get worse than that!

Also, Amazon employees, please STAY FAR AWAY from anything to do with Text-to-Speech technology, which provides revolutionary assistance to blind people. Alon & Lior made transformative developments in that too and practically invented the Hebrew version.

  • Also, no more Rummikub! Ephraim Hertzano invented it.
Okay, he first created it in Romania. But after coming to live in Eretz Yisrael in the 1940s (the 1940s? why would he leave Romania davka then? hmm...), he continued to develop the game in ISRAEL and then market Rummikub worldwide. Delete Rummikub from Amazon!

​Okay, guys...you probably thought the above was bad enough.

But you know what?

​I've saved the worst for last:
​
  • Kindle.

Yes, yes...THAT Amazon ereader.

Amazon corners the market in ebooks & ereaders.

And (deep breath) the original Kindle technology was mostly developed in...Israel.

The Herzliyah Industrial Zone, to be exact.

I'm so sorry.

Please, above-signed Amazon employees...PLEASE...just give your entire ebook market over to Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Apple. 

​Toss out all the Kindles and just let Nook take over the entire market. (Or Kobo Clara HD. Or Apple Reader.)

Sever those business contracts with Israel companies, organizations, and/or governments such as the Israeli Defense Forces—and do so NOW!

​It is clearly the best way to support the Palestinians along with the the Palestinian jihad ideology, Gazan missile attacks on civilians, Palestinian terror attacks, rampant domestic violence within their own community, FGM on their own females, using their fellow Palestinian children as human shields, and much more.

(Not that all Palestinians are bad, of course! However, as a society, they suffer from certain issues, such as Arabian male privilege, lack of diversity, and—well—a tendency toward unbridled za'am. No offense.)

Please, above-signed Amazon employees! Do your best to fulfill your stated ideals & avoid any vestige of hypocrisy or personal interest.

​We're counting on you to do the wrong thing.

Buh-bye, Kindle! Your origins simply aren't "woke" enough!
