STOP Supporting Genocide
Major tech companies, including Microsoft and Google (Alphabet), continue to face significant scrutiny and accusations from human rights organizations, legal experts, and UN officials for their involvement in providing technology and services to the Israeli government and military during the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
These entities argue that the companies' technology is crucial in enabling Israel's military operations and its system of control over Palestinians, which some characterize as apartheid and genocide.
Google Alphabet, along with Amazon AWS, is involved in Project Nimbus, a contract to provide cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli government and military. Critics allege that Project Nimbus supports Israeli military AI programs used for targeting individuals in Gaza. Google has faced internal dissent and protests and reportedly removed a public pledge against using its AI for weapons or surveillance. Google and Amazon have largely not addressed human rights concerns.
Microsoft Azure provides Azure cloud and AI services to the Israeli military. Investigations have suggested the Israeli army used Microsoft's cloud for mass surveillance. An independent UN report identified Microsoft as potentially enabling Israel's actions. Microsoft denies its technology is used to target people and states internal investigations found no such evidence. In September 2025, Microsoft confirmed it stopped certain services to a unit within the Israel Ministry of Defense involved in surveillance. The company has also faced internal dissent. Legal and Ethical Context.
These companies face potential legal liability for "aiding and abetting... atrocity crimes".
A UN report listed these companies as potentially complicit in the "genocide" in Gaza and called for accountability. The BDS Movement has targeted both Microsoft and Google/Amazon for boycotts.
