Since 2021, Microsoft under CEO Satya Nadella has engaged in classified agreements with Israeli military Unit 8200, reflecting deep ties between the tech giant and Israel's defense sector. Reports reveal that Microsoft has been providing advanced artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and surveillance technologies to the Israeli government and military, facilitating mass surveillance, digital repression, and military operations. These technologies have reportedly powered Israeli military strikes and surveillance activities that have increased 200-fold since October 2023. Microsoft’s involvement extends to recruiting former Israeli soldiers and embedding itself within the technological and military infrastructure that supports Israel's occupation and control over Palestinians. Critics argue that this relationship raises ethical and humanitarian concerns about the role of global corporations in enabling systems of oppression and alleged human rights violations. This scrutiny of Big Tech’s connections to government and military entities is part of a broader examination of the sector’s institutional and governmental roots, with companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, HP, and Oracle also noted for their foundational ties to government funding and networks.
