Technology companies and crimes against Palestinians

That this House notes growing calls to end contracts with companies such as Palantir, Cisco and Oracle which are supplying technology used by Israel in its crimes against Palestinians; further notes that such technologies for mass surveillance enable arbitrary arrest and rights abuses against Palestinians in detention, and that technologies provided for use in military attacks result in injuries and the killing of Palestinian civilians; acknowledges calls from Palestinian human rights groups and UK campaigners to hold these companies to account; supports calls for the Government to end all contracts with these companies as an important part of ending the trade of goods and services that support Israel’s genocide, military occupation and apartheid; believes that this includes activating the break clause in the contract with Palantir for the NHS Federated Data Platform; and calls on public bodies such as local councils and universities to exclude these companies from tenders over their involvement in grave violations of international law.
