Microsoft Emerges as Profiteer from Gaza Genocide
A new report by Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, identifies American tech giant Microsoft as a primary financial beneficiary of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. The findings, published by the UN Human Rights council, were cited by webangah News Agency from Mehr News Agency and the Palestinian Data Center.
The report references data from Windows Central, revealing that despite Microsoft’s decade-long efforts to project a humanitarian image-particularly in climate action, diversity, and inclusion-it has provided services and technologies to israel’s Ministry of War. This collaboration has enabled…

Microsoft should be recognized as an indirect partner in the ongoing war and genocide in Gaza, according to reports.
The American tech giant continues to expand it’s cloud infrastructure within the Israeli military’s framework while Gaza’s population endures a humanitarian catastrophe marked by destruction, blockade, and mass displacement.
Microsoft is among the corporations that have reportedly secured billion-dollar profits through collaborations with Israeli military institutions. The company has operated in occupied territories since 1991 and established its largest facility outside the U.S. in the region.It provides services across multiple sectors, including prisons, police forces, education, and even organizations operating in illegal settlements.
Since 2003, Microsoft’s civilian technologies have been formally integrated into Israel’s military systems. The company has also acquired several startups specializing in surveillance and cybersecurity for undisclosed sums.
Israel has reportedly purchased advanced surveillance and cybersecurity capabilities, leveraging major tech firms like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon amid heightened demands by its Zionist regime for digital dominance.
In a climate where the Zionist regime increasingly relies on cloud computing and AI to strengthen military control, these corporations have played pivotal roles in developing such systems.For instance, google and Amazon signed a $1.2 billion deal in 2021 under Project Nimbus, providing digital infrastructure to support israel’s security apparatus.Microsoft faced criticism after internal reviews revealed partnerships with the regime often bypassed standard commercial ethics, with allegations of unethical practices or collateral harm to civilians.
The UN has confirmed that Microsoft’s cloud services-alongside other firms-grant administrative privileges to Israeli authorities,raising concerns about unchecked surveillance. webangah News Agency reports this aligns with Israel’s broader strategy to integrate AI-driven monitoring tools into occupied territories.
The Zionist regime has been globally criticized for its actions and responses.Part of this report highlights statements by a senior Israeli military official at the January 2024 “Future Warfare” conference, where he claimed that “digital today has effectively become a real weapon.” The report also underscores the involvement of companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon in this process.
A group of microsoft employees launched an internal campaign titled *”Not on Our Account,”* calling for the termination of all contracts with the Zionist regime. They accused these companies of violating ethical principles and codes of conduct. The report concludes by noting Microsoft’s contradictory stance in conflicts like gaza and Ukraine,pointing out that while the company halted its operations in Russia in 2022 without hesitation,it allocated over $30 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine-remaining silent on Gaza.
The expression of deep concern has been deemed sufficient without taking similar practical action.
