Nvidia has confirmed "Globes" report that it has chosen the Israel Land Authority (ILA) area in Kiryat Tivon to build its huge campus that will accommodate up to 10,000 employees.

According to the illustration published by the US chip giant, this will be a large campus inspired by the design of the company’s new iconic headquarters in Santa Clara. When built it will be surrounded by commercial areas and restaurants with investment in parks and green spaces.

So a company led by a Taiwanese is supporting the genocide of a people by their bigger, wealthier, stronger neighbour... The irony is palpable.

Yearly reminder the modern Taiwan establishment was birthed by a brutal and repressive authoritarian fascist and their elite are not much different today.

I find it amusing people say they’ll boycott NVIDIA because they set up shop in Israel.

they set up shop in Israel a long time ago (2016 to the best of my memory)
all of their competitors also operate in Israel to some degree

If you need discrete graphics you don’t have any choice. They all operate in Israel to some degree.

It is not just about setting up shop in Israel. It is about building a megacampus while Israel is doing a genocide and is massively bleeding money.

The "to some degree" is the difference. It went from Intel being the primary investor in Israel to now Nvidia. AMD also has some investments in Israel but they are marginal compared to the other two.

Fuck you, Nvidia.

Again, whatever.
