How does Silicon Valley help Israel's genocide of Palestinians? with Omar Zahzah

Palestinians in Gaza are living some of the worst days in almost two years of genocide, amid deepening starvation and relentless massacres, as Israel moves ahead with a renewed attempt to occupy Gaza City.

Meanwhile, the resistance continues to inflict losses on an Israeli army that is exhausted and in disarray – albeit one still more than capable of deliberately mass murdering civilians.

This holocaust is enabled in large part by US tech companies, which provide services directly to the Israeli army while censoring solidarity activists, journalists and Palestinians inside and outside their homeland.

This has prompted current and former Microsoft workers to stage encampments outside the company’s US headquarters, demanding an end to that tech giant’s complicity.

We speak to Omar Zahzah, author of Terms of Servitude, a groundbreaking new book documenting how digital platforms and tech companies based in the United States support Israeli settler-colonialism and genocide.

Zahzah, a regular contributor to The Electronic Intifada, is assistant professor of Arab, Muslim, Ethnicities and Diaspora Studies at San Francisco State University.

This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada's livestream on day 685 of the Gaza genocide. Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer and Asa Winstanley were joined by author and researcher Omar Zahzah.
