I recommend not only disentangling yourself from Google products, (see my de-Google Your Life series on Patreon and Substack), but also think about leaving Meta, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft.

Israel’s ongoing assault on the West Bank is not to wipe out the Palestinian resistance. It is to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their homes and set the stage for annexation.

Ethnic cleansing is not self-defence. The fact that the ethnic cleansing is taking place shows that it was never, not once about self-defence. It is about colonising land and removing indigenous people to exploit a region’s resources — the same war crimes the US is built on.
