Petition: End all Government Contracts with Tech Giants Enabling Israel's Genocide
We, the undersigned, demand an end to all government contracts with tech giants enabling Israel’s genocide and apartheid against Palestinians, such as Palantir, Oracle and Cisco Systems.
Palestinians are being surveilled and monitored by Israel, using advanced technology systems that collect detailed information on every aspect of their lives. This isn’t just invasive—it’s deadly. Israel uses AI technology to rapidly generate targets for its bombing campaigns in Gaza which destroy schools, hospitals and entire neighbourhoods. It utilises cloud software to maintain databases storing sensitive information on Palestinians, collected through intrusive surveillance and torture, used to target them for arbitrary arrest and detention and to prevent them from passing military checkpoints to go home, to work or school or to visit friends and family.
The companies producing this technology, such as Palantir, Oracle and Cisco Systems are being awarded hundreds of millions of pounds of public money by the British government. For example, Palantir holds a £330million contract to develop a Federated Data Platform to store NHS patient medical data, and a £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence. Oracle holds contracts to provide cloud technology to government departments including the Ministry of Defence and Home Office. Cisco hardware and cybersecurity technology is also purchased across government departments.
Public money should never be spent with tech corporations enabling Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians. We demand the government cancel all contracts with Palantir, Oracle and Cisco Systems.
