Tell Microsoft To Stop Partnering With Israel's Genocide

Microsoft is a core partner in Israel’s AI-powered massacres of Palestinians.¹

Leaked documents published on Jan. 23, 2025, expose a deep partnership between Israel’s military operations and Microsoft. We now know that Israel’s military used Microsoft’s cloud platform (Azure) alongside a “suite of communications and messaging systems” and millions of dollars of engineering support to carry out Israel's massive attacks on Gaza.²

Take action with us — and support the Microsoft workers organizing to cut ties with the IDF.³

Israel’s so-called “demands of the war” on Gaza called for outside tech support. To that end, Israel’s military operational capabilities were “upgraded” during the current war in Gaza thanks to the “wonderful world of cloud providers” that enabled “very significant operational effectiveness.”

The sanitized language of “operational effectiveness” is a euphemism for Israel’s AI-powered war machine, unleashed on Gaza for 15 months.⁵

Israel’s AI program “has been a behind-the-scenes force accelerating the death toll in Gaza, which has claimed 45,000 lives….”⁵

Microsoft supported what the International Court of Justice sees as “plausible genocide."

Microsoft has lofty public-facing AI goals. These include AI for Humanitarian Action:  “aimed at harnessing the power of AI to support disaster response and recovery, help ensure the safety and wellbeing of children around the world, protect refugees and displaced people, and promote respect for human rights.”

The Jan. 23rd exposé shows that Microsoft has done the opposite from its stated aims, and its support for Israel helped accelerate an AI-powered genocide.

Join us in demanding that Microsoft cut ties with Israel's genocide.
