Staff members are asking the company to acknowledge the "continued assault upon Palestinians’ basic human rights under an illegal occupation."<\/p>\n
"The recent violent and deadly display of Palestinian displacement, disenfranchisement, and dehumanization cannot, once again, be actively or passively endorsed," the letter said, according to the publication. "We ask Amazon leadership to commit to review and sever business contracts and corporate donations with companies, organizations, and\/or governments that are active or complicit in human rights violations, such as the Israeli Defense Forces."<\/p>\n
