MIT Science For Genocide : MIT Coalition for Palestine

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) contributes to the Gaza Genocide and #Zionist #settler #colonialism in Palestine in at least two distinct ways. First, MIT laboratories on campus conduct weapons and surveillance research directly sponsored by the Israeli military. Since at least 2015, MIT laboratories have received millions of dollars from the Israeli Ministry of Defense for projects to develop algorithms that help drone swarms to better pursue escaping targets; to improve underwater surveillance technology; and support military aircraft evade missiles. Two of these sponsorships were renewed since October 7th, 2023, while one came up for renewal in December 2024. Second, #MIT maintains institutional collaborations through the ILP, LGO, CSAIL, and MIT Energy Initiative programs with companies that sell vast amounts of weapons to Israel. These include #Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest military contractor, as well as #Maersk, #LockheedMartin, and #Caterpillar. These collaborations grant #genocide profiteers privileged access to MIT talent and expertise."
