IBM has worked with the Israeli military since the 1960s .

CEO Arvind Krishna said in a video Q&A that IBM 's foreign business wouldn’t be shaped by the company’s values or humanitarian guidelines.

Krishna: “We will not work on offensive weapons programs. I am not taking any kind of moral or ethical judgment. I think that should be on each country who does those”.

IBM says its “corporate responsibility standards” are “informed by” the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights .

Google , Microsoft , and Amazon , which also sell technology services to the Israeli military, say they subscribe to the guidelines.
