More than 1,100 self-identified STEM students and young workers from over 120 universities have signed a pledge to not take jobs or internships at Google or Amazon until the companies end their involvement in Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract providing cloud computing services and infrastructure to the Israeli government.

That's great! Unfortunately for every one of them there's 4x more who gladly would

Yeah, but it's something that wasn't there before so it matters. Current and past gens have fucked it ALL up so these kids are part of something positive. And future lies with them.
