NGO calls for accountability as Cisco’s role in Israel’s surveillance and war crimes
“Tell Cisco: Stop Networking for Israel’s War Crimes,” 11 March 2025
…Cisco played a core role in ensuring that Israel was networked, ready, and able to carry out its massacres.
…Cisco’s networking, hardware, and servers form the backbone of Israel’s infrastructure and are believed to power Israel’s surveillance and AI ecosystem. These systems include Blue Wolf, Red Wolf, Lavender AI, Where is Daddy?, and The Gospel, and collectively track movements, map family connections, and facilitate mass surveillance and targeting of Palestinians.
For over a year, Cisco workers have been pressuring the company to cancel contracts and divest from Israel’s war crimes. For Cisco’s Palestinian employees — who’ve suffered over 400 family deaths in Gaza — Israel’s genocidal war is tragically personal.
Despite worker appeals and direct petitioning to Cisco executives, workers have been met with silencing and repression.
