Write to your MP today to ask they sign EDM 486 calling for an end to all contracts with Cisco Systems, Oracle and Palantir

Write to your MP to ask they call for an end to public contracts with companies supplying technology to Israel used to commit genocide and impose apartheid.

Cisco Systems, Oracle and Palantir are supplying Israel with technology for its mass surveillance and targeting of Palestinians. Yet, they are awarded hundreds of millions of pounds worth of contracts by the British government, local councils and universities. 

Palestinians face constant surveillance and monitoring by Israel, using advanced technology systems that collect detailed information on every aspect of their lives. 

The sensitive information collected is fed by Israel into databases profiling Palestinians, used to restrict their movement through military checkpoints and to target them for arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, where they are subjected to systematic torture. 

As part of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, it has used artificial intelligence technology to rapidly generate targets for its bombing campaigns which have destroyed entire neighbourhoods, schools and hospitals.

Palestinians have identified Cisco Systems, Oracle and Palantir as three companies supplying Israel with technology used in its crimes, and have called on people around the world to take action to hold these companies accountable. In response, we launched the Delete Genocide Tech campaign, organising for an end to all public contracts with these companies. 

Apsana Begum MP has tabled an Early Day Motion (EDM 486) calling for government and public bodies to stop doing business with tech companies fuelling Israel’s genocide and apartheid. Write to your MP today to ask they sign EDM 486 calling for an end to all contracts with Cisco Systems, Oracle and Palantir.

In solidarity,
