Google Co-Founder Denounces UN’s ‘Genocide’ Claim As ‘Transparently Antisemitic’

After the United Nations condemned Google and its parent company, Alphabet, accusing them of profiting from the “genocide carried out by Israel’ in Gaza, Google co-founder Sergey Brin fired back, declaring that the global intergovernmental organization was “transparently antisemitic.”

Unsurprisingly, the United Nations report with the allegation against Google was authored by the notorious, viciously anti-Israel Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese. Her remarks included statements such as, “For Israeli companies like Elbit and IAI, the ongoing genocide has been a profitable venture,” “Where corporate entities continue their activities and relationships with Israel … they may be found to have knowingly contributed to … crimes of apartheid and genocide,” and “Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon grant Israel virtually government-wide access to their cloud and AI technologies, enhancing data processing, decision-making and surveillance/analysis capacities. In October 2023, when Israel’s internal military cloud overloaded, Microsoft Azure and Project Nimbus Consortium stepped in with critical cloud and AI infrastructure.”

On Saturday, in an internal forum for employees, according to The Washington Post, Brin stated, “With all due respect, throwing around the term genocide in relation to Gaza is deeply offensive to many Jewish people who have suffered actual genocides. I would also be careful citing transparently antisemitic organizations like the UN in relation to these issues.”

“My comments came in response to an internal discussion that was citing a plainly biased and misleading report,” Brin said later in a statement.

On July 1, the U.S. Mission to the United Nations issued a public press release urging the organization to remove Albanese. The release stated:

In recent weeks, Ms. Albanese has escalated her years-long pattern of virulent antisemitism and unrelenting anti-Israel bias by dispatching threatening correspondence to dozens of entities worldwide, including major American corporations. These letters advance deeply flawed legal arguments to support extreme and unfounded accusations that these organizations are complicit in gross human rights violations, apartheid, and genocide. These letters also constitute an unacceptable campaign of political and economic warfare against the American and worldwide economy. In addition, Ms. Albanese’s allegations that Israel is committing “genocide” and engaging in “apartheid” are false and offensive.

In mid-May, fiercely pro-Israel Australian commenter Erin Molan ripped Albanese after Albanese complained about her reputation having suffered for her despicable behavior, including denying that Hamas raped Israeli women on October 7, 2023.

“Our favorite fraud: Francesca Albanese. She’s upset,” Molan noted. “No, not about denying the rape of Israeli women; don’t be silly. Nor about the atrocities of October 7. Don’t be daft. Or the impact of her atrocious lies on millions of innocents around the world. You’re kidding.”

“You want to know what she’s actually upset about, what she’s losing sleep about?” she asked. “Brace yourself: What some people might think of her.”

The United Nations’ antisemitic behavior has been on display for decades. In July 2024, the anti-Israel International Court of Justice, an arm of the United Nations, ruled that Israel’s presence in the biblical areas of Judea and Samaria is “unlawful,” and that Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria, as well as in East Jerusalem, violated international law.

As UN Watch has noted, “From 2015 through 2024, the UN General Assembly has adopted 164 resolutions on Israel and 84 on other countries. … The UN Watch Database also documents that from 2006 through 2024, the UN Human Rights Council has adopted 108 resolutions against Israel, 44 against Syria, 15 against Iran, 8 against Russia, and 3 against Venezuela.”
