Oracle Political Audit

1. Executive Intelligence Summary

This comprehensive political risk audit and governance assessment evaluates Oracle Corporation’s (NYSE: ORCL) operational, ideological, and financial entanglement with the State of Israel, specifically regarding the occupation of the Palestinian territories, the management of the settlement enterprise, and the militarization of the region. Commissioned to determine the “Political Complicity” of the entity, this report synthesizes a vast array of open-source intelligence, contract data, executive rhetoric, and internal policy documents to establish a complicity ranking.

The investigation establishes that Oracle Corporation exhibits a Systemic and High Level of Complicity, characterized not merely by passive vendor relationships but by a proactive, ideological alignment with the Israeli security establishment. Unlike many multinational technology firms that attempt to maintain a veneer of corporate neutrality or “business as usual” amid geopolitical conflict, Oracle’s executive leadership—specifically Chairman Larry Ellison and CEO Safra Catz—has articulated an explicit, non-negotiable commitment to the State of Israel that transcends standard commercial interests and enters the realm of sovereign support.

The audit identifies four critical vectors of complicity that define Oracle’s footprint:

1. Ideological Governance: The company is steered by a leadership dyad (Ellison and Catz) that conflates corporate mission with Zionist state-building. This is not limited to private philanthropy but influences corporate strategy, including the pursuit of media assets (TikTok) to shape geopolitical narratives and the explicit politicization of the workforce.¹
2. Military Digital Backbone: Oracle serves as the logistical and digital nervous system of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Since 2001, it has maintained the military’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, and it is currently executing a 26-year contract to manage the infrastructure for the “Kiryat Hamodi’in” Intelligence Campus in the Negev—the future home of Unit 8200 and the cyber-intelligence apparatus.⁴
3. Apparatus of Occupation: Oracle provides the server infrastructure and database licensing for the “Rotem-Reut” system, the primary mechanism used by the Israeli Civil Administration (ICA) to control Palestinian movement at checkpoints and border crossings. Furthermore, Oracle systems are actively utilized to monitor “illegal construction” in Area C of the West Bank, a bureaucratic euphemism for the surveillance and demolition of Palestinian homes.⁶
4. The “Safe Harbor” Failure: A forensic comparative analysis of Oracle’s response to the Ukraine-Russia conflict versus the Gaza conflict reveals a stark, discriminatory double standard. While Oracle ceased operations in Russia and condemned the invasion as “unlawful” to align with international norms, it responded to the Gaza conflict by deepening military support, donating directly to the IDF’s support structures, and suppressing internal humanitarian fundraising for Palestinians.⁸

This report details these findings through a forensic examination of contracts, executive rhetoric, technical infrastructure deployment, and the suppression of internal dissent, ultimately assigning Oracle a Tier 1 categorization on the Complicity Scale: Direct Combatant Support & Ideological Alignment.

2. Governance Ideology: The Executive Ideological Footprint

The ideological footprint of a corporation is invariably shaped by its leadership. In the case of Oracle, the alignment with Israeli state interests is not incidental or purely market-driven; it is deeply personal, ideological, and driven from the very top of the corporate hierarchy. The governance structure of Oracle presents a unique case study in the tech sector, where the boundary between the personal Zionist activism of its founders and the corporate strategy of the multinational entity has effectively dissolved.

2.1. The Executive Core: Larry Ellison and Safra Catz

The dual leadership of Larry Ellison (Co-founder, Chairman, CTO) and Safra Catz (CEO) creates a governance environment where support for Israel is treated as a core corporate value rather than a geopolitical liability to be managed.

Larry Ellison: The Sovereign Donor

Larry Ellison’s support for Israel extends far beyond the typical corporate philanthropy seen in Silicon Valley. He is identified in intelligence dossiers as the “largest private funder of the Israel Defense Forces” (IDF) through his massive, sustained donations to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF).1 This distinction is critical: Ellison is not merely funding hospitals or universities; he is directly capitalizing the welfare and operational support structures of a foreign military engaged in active occupation.

Ellison’s relationship with the Israeli political establishment is intimate and strategic. He counts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu among his closest friends, a relationship that has reportedly seen Netanyahu offer Ellison a direct role in advising the Israeli economy.¹ This proximity to political power influences Oracle’s acquisition strategy and public positioning. Analysts have noted that Ellison’s involvement in the potential acquisition of TikTok was not solely a commercial play but was viewed by political observers as a strategic move to place a “pro-Israel information empire” in control of a platform where younger demographics have arguably been critical of Israeli policy.³ The potential acquisition was framed by observers as an attempt to “rewire U.S. media in Israel’s favor,” leveraging Ellison’s capital to secure the narrative terrain.¹¹

Safra Catz: The Operational Enforcer

If Ellison provides the capital and the vision, Safra Catz, an Israeli-American, serves as the operational enforcer of Oracle’s Zionist ideology. Her public statements post-October 7, 2023, represent a radical departure from standard corporate diplomatic language, which typically emphasizes peace, safety for all, and neutrality. Catz has explicitly linked employment at Oracle with allegiance to Israel, effectively politicizing the employment contract of Oracle’s 160,000 global staff.

In a revealing interview with the Israeli publication Calcalist, Catz stated:

“We are not flexible regarding our mission, and our commitment to Israel is second to none. This is a free world and I love my employees, and if they don’t agree with our mission to support the State of Israel, then maybe we aren’t the right company for them. Larry and I are publicly committed to Israel and devote personal time to the country and no one should be surprised by that.” ¹

This “love it or leave it” ultimatum is a profound governance anomaly for a publicly traded multinational. It effectively declares that political alignment with a specific foreign state’s military objectives is a condition of belonging within the corporate culture. This statement was not a slip of the tongue; it was a reiteration of a long-standing position. In 2021, during a visit to Israel, Catz made similar remarks regarding employee protests at other tech firms, contrasting Oracle’s “unequivocal” commitment with the flexibility seen elsewhere.²

2.2. Board of Directors Screening and Political Affiliations

A comprehensive screening of Oracle’s Board of Directors reveals a composition of individuals with significant ties to defense establishments, intelligence agencies, and pro-Israel trade advocacy. This composition reinforces the company’s predisposition toward military contracting and alignment with US-Israel strategic hegemony.

Table 1: Oracle Board of Directors – Political & Ideological Risk Assessment

Deep Dive: Leon Panetta

The presence of Leon Panetta on the board is highly significant for a political risk audit. As former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense, Panetta embodies the deep state nexus between Washington and Silicon Valley. His tenure in the Obama administration was marked by the strengthening of the “Iron Dome” funding and intelligence sharing with Israel. While Panetta has at times publicly supported a “two-state solution” and warned against Israeli strikes on Iran without US coordination, his strategic framework is built on the preservation of Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge (QME).12 His role on the board likely ensures that Oracle’s strategic decisions—such as the pursuit of the Pentagon’s JEDI contract or the Israeli Nimbus contract—are aligned with broader US national security interests, which view Israel as a critical regional proxy.

Deep Dive: Rona Fairhead (Baroness Fairhead)

Fairhead’s background serves the normalization of trade relations. During her time as UK Minister of State for Trade, she actively prioritized trade deals with the region, often glossing over the distinction between Israel proper and the occupied territories in the pursuit of “free trade.” She has been a featured speaker at “UK Israel Business Briefings,” organizations often dedicated to shielding bilateral trade from the effects of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.15 Her expertise facilitates Oracle’s navigation of complex trade regulations and export controls, ensuring the smooth flow of dual-use technology to Israeli clients.

2.3. Institutional Affiliations and Lobbying

Oracle’s leadership maintains active participation in organizations that lobby for Israeli interests, creating a feedback loop between corporate profits and political advocacy.

• Friends of the IDF (FIDF): While not a corporate partner in the traditional sense, the Chairman’s status as the top donor effectively merges the Oracle brand with the FIDF in the eyes of the Israeli public and military leadership.
• AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee): The alignment of Oracle’s leadership with AIPAC’s legislative agenda is evident in the company’s PAC contributions and broader political strategy. AIPAC’s 2024 strategy involved spending over $100 million to unseat progressive US lawmakers critical of Israel; Oracle’s executive rhetoric aligns perfectly with this “unconditional support” model. Reports indicate that the AIPAC-affiliated “United Democracy Project” super PAC spent heavily to defeat candidates who might threaten the US-Israel military aid pipeline—a pipeline that ultimately funds the contracts Oracle bids on.¹⁷
• British-Israel Chamber of Commerce (BICC): Oracle UK has been listed as a member and sponsor of BICC events since the late 1990s. The BICC works to facilitate trade between the UK and Israel, often obscuring the origins of products made in settlements and promoting “Brand Israel” events to counter negative perceptions of the occupation.¹⁹

3. The Digital Iron Dome: Military & Intelligence Integration

While media attention regarding the “Project Nimbus” cloud tender often focuses on Google and Amazon, Oracle’s integration with the Israeli military is arguably deeper, more structural, and longer-standing. Oracle acts as the “legacy” backbone of the IDF, maintaining the critical systems that allow the military to function as a bureaucratic and logistical entity.

3.1. The “Kiryat Hamodi’in” Intelligence Campus: Infrastructure for Unit 8200

In a strategic development that cements Oracle’s role in the occupation for the next quarter-century, the company is a key technology provider for the “Kiryat Hamodi’in” (Intelligence Campus) in the Negev (Naqab).

• Project Scope and Scale: This NIS 11 billion project is designed to relocate the IDF’s elite intelligence units—including Unit 8200 (cyber warfare and signals intelligence) and the Cyber Defense Division—from the center of the country to the Negev desert. The campus spans 2.5 million square meters and is designed to house approximately 13,000 soldiers and officers.⁴
• Oracle’s Contractual Role: Oracle Israel won the tender to provide the financing, planning, development, and operation of the IT infrastructure for this campus. The agreement is valid for 26 years, indicating a multi-generational commitment to Israeli military intelligence. This is not a one-off software sale; it is an infrastructure partnership where Oracle essentially becomes the landlord and utility provider for the digital occupation.⁴
• Operational Impact: This campus serves as the nerve center for Israel’s surveillance state. Unit 8200 is responsible for the collection of electronic intelligence (ELINT) and signals intelligence (SIGINT) on Palestinians, including the monitoring of phone calls, emails, and social media. By operating the IT infrastructure for this facility, Oracle is providing the physical and digital environment in which this surveillance is conducted.
• Geographic and Demographic Implications: The campus is located near the Likit junction, between the Omer Industrial Park and the Palestinian Bedouin village of Lakiya. The construction of this military behemoth is part of a broader state strategy to “Judaize” the Negev, often at the expense of unrecognized Bedouin villages which face demolition and displacement to make way for such infrastructure and the associated transport links (like the light rail connecting Beersheba to the campus).⁶ Oracle’s participation in this project implicates it in the wider demographic engineering of the Naqab region.

3.2. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP): The Logistics of War

Since 2001, Oracle has served as the logistical brain of the Israeli military. An army cannot fight, mobilize reserves, or procure munitions without a robust ERP system.

• The Foundational Contract: In 2001, Oracle Israel was awarded a tender worth over NIS 100 million to supply and implement an ERP system for the Ministry of Defense (IMOD) and the IDF. This system was designed to serve as the basis for developing applications across all military computer units.⁴
• Scope of Implementation: The Oracle-based system manages budgets, procurement, human resources, and logistics for the Air Force, Ground Forces, Navy, and Intelligence Corps. It is the central nervous system for the military’s administrative functions.
• Operational Efficiency: The system allows for “data extraction for intelligence systems and shorter duration of operational and intelligence processes,” directly enhancing the lethality and efficiency of military operations. It facilitates the transfer of data in real-time to commanders in operational areas, improving interoperability between forces fighting in Gaza, the West Bank, and the northern front.⁶
• Maintenance and Upgrades: This relationship has been continuous. In 2017 and subsequent years, Oracle has continued to provide maintenance and upgrades, ensuring the IDF’s logistical capabilities keep pace with modern warfare requirements.

3.3. Project Nimbus and the “Shadow Cloud”

Although Oracle officially lost the primary $1.2 billion “Project Nimbus” cloud tender to Google and AWS in 2021, its behavior during and after the tender process reveals its desperate intent to host government data and its continued involvement in the defense cloud ecosystem.

• The “Sovereign” Requirement: The Nimbus tender explicitly required that tech companies establish local cloud sites within Israel that are subject to Israeli law—specifically preventing the companies from denying service to any government entity, including the military, due to boycott pressure or ethical concerns. Oracle’s bid explicitly agreed to these terms, signaling its willingness to host data for the Ministry of Defense without ethical restriction.²³
• Aggressive Litigation: After losing the tender, Oracle engaged in aggressive litigation to challenge the decision, arguing that the tender was flawed. This litigation demonstrates that Oracle’s exclusion from the main contract was not for lack of trying; the company fought legally to be the entity powering Israel’s military cloud.²⁵
• The “Shadow Nimbus” Reality: Despite the loss of the headline contract, Oracle continues to service the defense sector through legacy systems and parallel contracts. Experts note that the military can forge ties with cloud companies through separate Ministry of Defense tenders or pre-existing contracts. Oracle remains a dominant player in the on-premise and hybrid cloud environments of the Israeli security establishment, effectively operating as a “shadow Nimbus” provider for specific classified functions.²⁷

4. Mechanisms of Control: Surveillance, Apartheid, and the Occupation

The audit identifies specific Oracle technologies that facilitate the daily administration of the occupation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. These systems transform military force into bureaucratic procedure, automating the restriction of Palestinian rights and the demolition of Palestinian property.

4.1. The “Rotem-Reut” Border Control System

The “Rotem-Reut” system is the computerized mechanism used at Israeli border crossings and checkpoints to control the movement of Palestinians.

• Technology Stack: The system is built on an Oracle database (specifically Oracle 11.2 and subsequent enterprise updates) and utilizes Oracle Forms and Reports for its interface. It is a classic example of how enterprise database software is weaponized for population control.⁴
• Deployment and Usage: The system is deployed at the Allenby Bridge Crossing (the sole exit for West Bank Palestinians to Jordan) and internal checkpoints throughout the West Bank. It tracks the movement of Palestinians, verifies permits, and enforces travel bans (the “blacklists” maintained by the Shin Bet).
• Licensing & Sole Source Status: Oracle Israel is the sole supplier for the licensing of this system. In the period of 2022-2023 alone, the Population and Immigration Authority purchased over NIS 1.2 million in Oracle licenses specifically for the Rotem and Reut systems. This creates a direct revenue stream from the restriction of freedom of movement.⁴
• Complicity: By maintaining the database that decides who can move and who cannot, Oracle is directly implementing the policy of closure and segregation that human rights organizations (Amnesty, HRW, B’Tselem) have defined as the crime of apartheid.

4.2. Monitoring “Illegal” Construction: The Demolition Algorithm

The Israeli Civil Administration (ICA), the military body that governs the West Bank, is headquartered in the illegal settlement of Beit El. It utilizes Oracle servers for a specialized system designed to monitor “illegal construction” in Area C of the West Bank.⁴

• Context of “Illegality”: Israel rejects over 95% of Palestinian building permit applications in Area C, which comprises 60% of the West Bank. Therefore, almost all Palestinian construction—homes, schools, water cisterns—is deemed “illegal” by the occupation authorities.
• The Monitoring System: The ICA uses aerial imagery, field data, and GIS systems—processed through Oracle-supported servers—to identify new Palestinian structures. This data is processed to issue demolition orders.
• Direct Harm: This is not a “dual-use” technology; in this context, it is a single-use technology aimed at displacement. The system directly feeds into the demolition of homes and the displacement of communities. In late 2024, the ICA issued two new tenders for Oracle server support specifically for this monitoring system, indicating that Oracle’s technology remains central to the ongoing demolition campaigns in 2025.⁶
• Technical Specifications: The tender documents specify that the system runs on servers manufactured by Sun Microsystems (a fully owned subsidiary of Oracle) and requires support from “authorized Oracle Israel suppliers”.⁶

4.3. The “Blue Wolf” and Facial Recognition Ecosystem

While the “Blue Wolf” facial recognition app is a proprietary IDF development, it relies on a backend ecosystem of databases to function. The data collected by soldiers (who compete to capture photos of Palestinians) must be stored, indexed, and retrieved.

• The Data Lake Connection: Reports indicate that the IDF’s massive data lakes, which feed AI systems like Blue Wolf and the “Lavender” targeting system used in Gaza, rely on cloud and server infrastructure provided by major tech contractors. Given Oracle’s dominance in the IDF’s ERP and database sectors, it is a critical node in this data architecture. The faces captured by Blue Wolf are cross-referenced against databases that likely reside on Oracle infrastructure.²⁹
• Gamification of Surveillance: The Blue Wolf app “gamifies” the occupation, encouraging soldiers to photograph Palestinians to populate the “Wolf Pack” database. Oracle’s high-speed transaction processing capabilities are essential for the type of real-time biometric matching required at checkpoints like Hebron.²⁹

5. Strategic Acquisitions: The “Silicon Wadi” Pipeline

Oracle has aggressively acquired Israeli startups to bolster its cloud and AI capabilities. These acquisitions often involve dual-use technologies developed by veterans of the Israeli intelligence community, specifically Unit 8200. This creates a “revolving door” where military tech is commercialized, acquired by Oracle, and then sold back to the military in a more polished form.

Table 2: Key Oracle Acquisitions in Israel and Military Utility

Deep Dive: Ravello Systems

The acquisition of Ravello Systems is particularly illustrative. Founded by Rami Tamir, a veteran of Unit 8200, Ravello developed technology that encapsulates applications so they can run on any cloud. This is the “holy grail” for a military organization like the IDF, which has decades of legacy software that cannot be easily rewritten but needs to run on modern cloud infrastructure (like the Nimbus or Kiryat Hamodi’in clouds). By acquiring Ravello, Oracle effectively transferred Unit 8200 know-how into its global product suite, which is then sold back to the IDF to facilitate its digital transformation.33

6. The “Safe Harbor” Test: Ukraine vs. Gaza Comparative Analysis

The “Safe Harbor” principle in corporate governance implies that a company should act consistently regarding human rights and international law, regardless of the geopolitical actors involved. A forensic comparison of Oracle’s actions in Ukraine (2022) versus Gaza (2023-2025) reveals a distinct, discriminatory policy that fails the Safe Harbor test.

6.1. Response to Ukraine (Russia Conflict)

• Official Designation: Oracle explicitly referred to the Russian invasion as an “unlawful attack” and “war,” aligning with US and EU foreign policy.⁸
• Operational Action: Oracle ceased all operations in Russia immediately. It suspended all services, support, and software updates for Russian clients, regardless of whether they were sanctioned or not. This broad-brush exit strategy prioritized moral standing over contractual obligations.
• Humanitarian Aid: The company donated $1 million to refugees (UNHCR, UNICEF) and matched employee donations to Ukrainian relief funds without restriction.⁸
• Rhetoric: “Oracle stands with the people of Ukraine.”

6.2. Response to Gaza (Israel Conflict)

• Official Designation: Oracle designated the conflict as a “fight against terror” and pledged “unequivocal” support for the state of Israel. It did not reference international law or the illegality of occupation.²
• Operational Action: Instead of suspending operations due to the risk of contributing to war crimes (as cited by the ICJ and UN reports), Oracle intensified its support. It offered relocation to employees near the Gaza border to central Israel and provided credit cards for essentials to soldiers. Executives stated that “Zero always says – the US first, then Israel, and then the whole world,” placing Israel above all other global markets in priority.¹⁰
• Financial Support for Combatants: Oracle donated $1 million to Magen David Adom (which supports the military in wartime) and matched employee donations to Israeli causes.
• Suppression of Humanitarian Aid: Critically, Oracle removed Palestinian humanitarian charities (UNRWA, Medical Aid for Palestinians) from its employee matching program. While claiming a policy shift to focus on “education, environment, and health,” employees noted that the delisted charities focused specifically on health and education. This act effectively sanctioned humanitarian aid to Gaza victims while subsidizing aid to the Israeli military apparatus.¹⁰

Conclusion of Test: Oracle fails the Safe Harbor test. The company applies international law and ethical standards selectively. In Ukraine, it acts as a corporate citizen upholding sovereignty against aggression; in Palestine, it acts as a partisan supplier to the occupying power, actively suppressing humanitarian aid to the victims of the conflict.

7. Internal Governance: Suppression of Dissent and “Neutrality” Violations

A critical component of the audit is analyzing how the company treats internal stakeholders who raise ethical concerns. Evidence suggests Oracle maintains a “hostile environment” for employees critical of Israeli policy, violating standard corporate neutrality policies.

7.1. The “Love It or Leave It” Ultimatum

CEO Safra Catz’s statement—”If they don’t agree with our mission to support the State of Israel, then maybe we aren’t the right company for them”—constitutes a direct violation of principles of non-discrimination and political neutrality in the workplace.

• Implication: This creates a culture of fear. Employees are effectively told that their job security is contingent upon their political alignment with Zionism. This is legally precarious in jurisdictions with strong labor protections but serves as an effective silencer in the US tech sector.¹
• Action vs. Policy: While most tech companies (Google, Amazon) have faced employee revolts, Oracle’s management preemptively crushed dissent by declaring the company’s mission incompatible with pro-Palestinian advocacy.

7.2. “Gaslighting” Through HR

Reports confirm that employees who expressed concern about the war in Gaza or the company’s support for it were referred to “internal mental health resources” rather than having their ethical concerns addressed by leadership.

• The Tactic: This tactic, described by employees as gaslighting, frames political and ethical dissent as a psychological pathology or a “mental health crisis” rather than a legitimate workplace grievance. It pathologizes solidarity with Palestine.²

7.3. The “Oracle for Palestine” Group

Despite the repression, an internal employee group, “Oracle for Palestine,” formed to demand the reinstatement of donation matching and the cessation of services to the settlements.

• Demands: The group explicitly demanded that “Oracle data center infrastructure and/or products should not be used by, or in connection to, the armed forces of Israel, which is aiding in a plausible genocide in Gaza.”
• Company Response: The company ignored these demands, maintained the ban on Palestinian charities, and reiterated its support for Israel. This intransigence led to the resignation of employees who felt they could no longer work for an entity complicit in war crimes.³⁷

8. Lobbying, Trade, and the “Brand Israel” Campaign

Oracle engages in active diplomacy to normalize the occupation through trade and “innovation” washing, leveraging its brand to shield Israel from economic isolation.

8.1. Bilateral Trade Chambers and Normalization

Oracle is a member of the British-Israel Chamber of Commerce (BICC).

• Function: The BICC works to facilitate trade between the UK and Israel. It historically opposes the labeling of settlement goods and lobbies against BDS initiatives.
• Involvement: Oracle UK has been listed as a member and sponsor of BICC events since the late 1990s, engaging in “Export Promotion” activities that benefit the Israeli economy. Board member Rona Fairhead’s involvement in UK-Israel trade promotion further institutionalizes this relationship.¹⁹

8.2. Event Sponsorship: Cybertech Tel Aviv

Oracle is a recurring sponsor and participant in Cybertech Tel Aviv, a major conference that blends the Israeli private tech sector with the military and intelligence establishment.

• The Ecosystem: These events serve as a marketplace where military-grade surveillance tools (like those used in the West Bank) are marketed to global governments.
• Endorsement: By sponsoring these events, Oracle lends its brand credibility to Israel’s “Cyber Nation” narrative, which is built on the testing of technologies on the Palestinian population. The 2023, 2024, and upcoming 2025 events feature Oracle prominently alongside Israeli defense contractors.³⁹

8.3. The TikTok Acquisition Bid: Information Warfare

The attempt by Oracle (led by Ellison) to acquire TikTok was driven largely by a desire to control the algorithm of a platform viewed as “anti-Israel.”

• The Narrative: Pro-Israel advocacy groups and US officials have cited TikTok’s open algorithm as a problem for Israel’s public image (Hasbara), claiming it spreads “antisemitic” (often conflated with anti-Zionist) content.
• Oracle’s Solution: By taking control of the hosting and potentially the algorithm, Oracle would be positioned to suppress pro-Palestinian content under the guise of “anti-terrorism” or “safety” protocols. This aligns with the company’s broader information dominance strategy and Ellison’s desire to create a media empire sympathetic to Zionist narratives.³
