❌ Intel has deep ties with Israel, with a spokesperson for BDS stating, “Intel has been aiding and abetting Israel’s apartheid for decades, feeding its war chest..”
Alongside being a major investor in Israel's economy, Intel’s main Israeli factory Fab 38 is based in Kiryat Gat, once the now ethnically cleansed Palestinian villages of al-Faluja and ‘Iraq al-Manshiya which were subjected to the Nakba. To this day, Intel continues to profit from ethnic cleansing and land theft.
In late December 2023, Intel planned to build a $25bn chip factory in what was described as Israel’s “largest investment ever”. Due to mounting pressure from the BDS movement and sinking confidence in the Israeli economy, Intel halted these plans in June 2024 in a huge victory for the boycott movement.
