On June 22, 2020, a month after George Floyd’s murder, the director of Google.org emailed the Jewglers listerv, to formally apologize to Jewish employees. He cited concern from Jews at the company that Google’s donation to the Movement for Black Lives, M4BL, had unintentionally been antisemitic.
The reason? Jewglers leadership had issued formal complaints to company leadership about the donation, saying it was antisemitic because M4BL, a coalition of dozens of groups, included organizations that had expressed their alignment with the perspectives and language of Palestinian-led groups.
The apology from Google did nothing to protect against antisemitism. Instead, it only pitted us against one another, which divides us and makes us less safe. The world is better when all marginalized communities can work together to fight injustice everywhere.

Can you really call yourself "marginalized" if you can make Google grovel like that?

But don't worry, thanks to US' robust democracy, you can vote for a candidate that will address this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KY2_qaROFY
