Oracle executive boasts of "scary tech" given to Israeli military for Gaza
A new documentary and a leaked executive boast are drawing fresh attention to US corporate and taxpayer ties to the war in Gaza — grim news for Israel's image and for the tech firms involved.
- A documentary called "American Doctor" follows US doctors who worked in Gaza's overwhelmed hospitals during the war, and is opening in theaters across the US and Canada.
- An Oracle executive was recorded bragging that the company gave "profoundly scary technology" to the Israeli military and calling it her "proudest moment."
- Doctors who were there say hospitals were repeatedly targeted and that AI-style targeting tools were used to mark almost any man aged 15 to 60 as a military target.
- More than 1,700 Palestinian health workers were killed, while no international doctor was — pointing to deliberate targeting.
- One returning US doctor says he was detained and interrogated by Homeland Security, asked whether he had treated Hamas fighters.
Outlook: Expect more scrutiny of US companies and tax dollars linked to the war as the film reaches wider audiences.
