Google and Amazon, established data centers in Israel in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Anatoly Kushnir, co-founder of the Israeli tech firm Comm-IT, which has been helping military units migrate to the cloud since October, explained to +972 and Local Call that Nimbus “created an infrastructure” of advanced computer centers under Israeli jurisdiction.

This arrangement, he said, made it easier for “security entities, even the more sensitive ones,” to store information in the cloud during the war without fear from overseas courts — which, presumably, might demand the information in the event of a lawsuit against Israel.

Daymn, they're straight-up complicit in trying to hide their war crimes from international courts!
