TABNAK, Nov, 18 : Zakeri, a software engineer, issued a post on his Linkedin account, saying that his resignation came due to Google’s involvement in Israeli Project Nimbus, a cloud computing project serving Zionist regime and its military forces.

His post in Linkedin comes as following:

I’m happy to announce that I have left Google!

Why happy, even though I was working on exciting projects with talented coworkers? Because this decision reflects my values. After learning about Google’s involvement in Project Nimbus, I voiced my concerns for several months. Unfortunately, despite the efforts of many employees, leadership chose to maintain its stance and dismiss our collective concerns.

Living in a way that conflicts with your core values is incredibly challenging. Choosing to step away was not easy, but it was necessary. For anyone facing similar situations, I hope you find the courage to prioritize your principles.
