Stop Lambeth Council giving £8.1m to a company supporting genocide
Lambeth Council
Lambeth's Labour Council is planning to sign a contract worth £8.1m with Oracle, a company providing services to the Israeli military and led by people actively supporting the genocide.
We cannot let our council taxes go towards a company that uses its profits for genocide. Sign our petition now to tell Lambeth Labour no.
“Love Israel or find a new job”
That’s what IT company Oracle told employees questioning the company’s provision of software and services that are facilitating Israel’s genocide and war crimes in Gaza. This is the company that Lambeth’s Labour Council are planning to pay £8.1 million to. We say no.
Oracle is hugely involved in the Israeli military and founder Larry Ellison has personally donated over $16 million to the IDF. Its CEO, meanwhile, donated to the Trump election campaign.
Lambeth’s communities reject this.
Cllr Martin Abrams, Green Party councillor for Streatham St Leonard’s, said:
"Lambeth must stand with Palestine and end its financial complicity in Israeli genocide, war crimes and ethnic cleaning. A petition signed by more than 5,000 Lambeth residents clearly shows that this issue is hugely important to the community. Oracle is unashamed in its support for Israel, proudly providing services to the government and military despite the horrors we have all seen for the past three years and before. The company’s founders have donated millions to the IDF and are in bed with the morally reprehensible Trump administration.
By awarding this contract, Labour will be using residents money to enrich an organisation and its billionaire owners who use their influence to support and sustain the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people by Israel. This is the definition of complicity. Labour needs to change their unconscionable ‘neutral position’ on Israel’s genocide, reject Oracle and get on the right side of history.”
