In addition, Booking workers say NO to workplace retaliation and discrimination:

"We demand explicit assurance that employees are free to express solidarity with the Palestinian people without fear of retaliation, discrimination, or the application of double standards. This includes but is not limited to public expression, workplace discussion, and conscientious refusals to participate in activities that contradict such views."

Should be a given, because any such workplace discrimination & retaliation is prohibited under Dutch law, but hey :dunno: you never know

What would it look like for Booking to cease complicity in the illegal occupation of Palestine?

Booking workers demand, concretely:

  1. Remove the more than 50, currently bookable properties on illegally occupied Palestinian land from Booking.com’s platforms
  2. Suspend all operations in Booking.com’s Tel Aviv office, which offers material support for apartheid and war crimes
  3. Carry out a transparent audit of any AI or dual‑use technologies developed, deployed, or supported by the Tel Aviv office, with independent oversight and remedial action

The workers' core demand is that Booking should cease its complicity in the illegal zionist occupation of Palestine:

"We demand the company discloses all ties to the illegal Israeli occupation and immediately ceases its business relationship with apartheid Israel and adhere to international law as outlined in the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights"

Booking workers issue a statement, calling on the company to quit its human rights abuses

"Statement

As employees, we call on the business to hold itself to its own standards. We call on Booking.com to stop infringing on the human rights of the Palestinian people and to immediately seek to mitigate and remediate the human rights impacts caused by or linked to its business operations."

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians

Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on #Microsoft’s servers in Europe

from #TheGuardian #Guardian

Wed 6 Aug 2025 07.00 EDT

According to three Unit 8200 sources, the cloud-based storage platform has facilitated the preparation of deadly airstrikes and has shaped military operations in #Gaza and the #WestBank.

Thanks to the control it exerts over #Palestinian telecommunications infrastructure, #Israel has long intercepted phone calls in the occupied territories. But the indiscriminate new system allows intelligence officers to play back the content of cellular calls made by Palestinians, capturing the conversations of a much larger pool of ordinary civilians.

The prolific Awni Hannun @awnihannun of #mlx fame:

[…] A very legit list from the White House on accelerating AI innovation in America.

🙄 You really can’t separate tech from policy when tech is now more than ever a tool of sadistic oppression. Especially #AI. Especially #Google, #Meta and possibly #Apple?

Maybe Hannun should watch M3GAN 2.0 🫨 , if he doesn’t have time to read the news about what’s happening in his country. Or is it fear of deportation?

Also it’s the U.S., not America. But, peanuts.

Hundreds call for arms embargo in protests at factories complicit in #Israel's genocide in Gaza

from #Canary
By Ed Sykes 18 June 2025

"On 17 June, hundreds of people attended protests outside arms factories complicit in the #US-#Israeli genocide in #Gaza. They went to Sheffield, Rochester, and Havant to call for an immediate arms embargo. This comes as one poll suggests over half of people in #Britain back such an embargo."

Tell “The Killers” to Cancel Cisco Live!

actionnetwork.orgTell “The Killers” to Cancel Cisco Live! Cisco played a core role in ensuring that Israel was networked, ready, and able to carry out its massacres in Gaza. The Killers band should know that before they take the stage at Cisco Live! on Wednesday, June 11.¹ Grammy-nominated The Killers should also know that 1,700 Cisco workers have called on their employer to divest from Israel.² For 20 months, we have witnessed the horrific live-streamed massacres and forced starvation of Palestinians. We are outraged by Israel’s ongoing military attacks and by the corporations and governments that support it. That’s why we’re asking The Killers to cancel their performance and support the call from Cisco workers to divest from Israel’s genocide. The genocide in Gaza is deeply personal for 32 Cisco workers who have lost 288 family members to Israel’s attacks.² Employees have been speaking up about Cisco's complicity in Israel’s war on Gaza since 2023. Cisco’s response has been to shut down organizing spaces, silence conversations, and terminate the employment of at least one worker.² Cisco’s ties to Israel’s defense establishment and involvement in Israel’s illegal occupation are well documented.³ Cisco provides the IDF with its Unified Communications System, which streamlines data, voice, and video transmission, allowing soldiers to communicate and share information faster, from anywhere, on any device. Cisco facilitates Israel’s massacres. Tell The Killers: Let Gaza live. Cancel your performance at Cisco Live!

"Seattle police arrested one demonstrator after a crowd of dozens tried to push into the #Seattle Convention Center, where hundreds had gathered for #Microsoft Build. Several demonstrators were doused with pepper spray.

Demonstrators ultimately left the convention center at 1:30 p.m., returning to downtown Seattle’s Westlake Park where they had rallied earlier in the day."

#Microsoft employee interrupts CEO’s keynote with pro-#Palestinian protest

Protester is engineer who worked on Azure software, which enabled #Israeli surveillance of Palestinians

"“As one of the largest companies in the world, Microsoft has immeasurable power to do the right thing: demand an end to this senseless tragedy, or we will cease our technological support for Israel,” read the email... “If leadership continues to ignore this demand, I promise that it won’t go unnoticed. The world has already woken up to our complicity and is turning against us. The boycotts will increase and our image will continue to spiral into disrepair.”"
