Getting your message out and then quitting is the way to go. Don't be a part of the hate machine and deny them of your skillset.
I don't want Google's engineers to have 100% Israel support though
They would really have to rely heavily on Gemini at that point. I don't think you can find many highly educated engineers who are so oblivious.
