🚨 Reasons for Boycotting Intel

Intel Corporation is the world''s largest semiconductor manufacturer. The company maintains deep economic, military, and technological links to the genocidal israil state, operating in israil since 1974, employing thousands of workers, supplying its processors to the israeli military through Elbit Systems, and owning the israeli company Mobileye.

1. israil''s Largest Private Tech Employer Since 1974: Intel israel was founded in Haifa in 1974 as Intel''s first development center outside the United States. Today, the company operates three development centers in Haifa, Petah Tikva, and Jerusalem, and a major manufacturing facility in Kiryat Gat. Intel israel employs approximately 9,335 people, and from 1974 to 2023, its exports totaled approximately $86 billion, accounting for 3.5% to 5.5% of israil''s total exports. In 2022, Intel israel declared record exports of $8.7 billion, constituting 1.75% of israil''s GDP and 5.5% of all israeli tech exports.
2. Kiryat Gat Facility: Built on an Ethnically Cleansed Palestinian Village: Intel''s main facility in israil is in Kiryat Gat, an israeli settlement built on the ruins of the ethnically cleansed Palestinian village of Iraq al-Manshiyya, located approximately 16 miles from the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip. In December 2023, Intel announced plans to build a $25 billion chipmaking factory, committing to purchase $16.6 billion worth of goods and services from israeli suppliers over the next decade, in exchange for a $3.2 billion israeli government grant. The project was later paused, and in August 2026, the israeli government redirected $283 million from funds allocated for Intel to the israeli military budget for emergency weapons procurement.
3. $15.3 Billion Acquisition of israeli Company Mobileye: In 2017, Intel acquired israeli company Mobileye, which specializes in autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), for $15.3 billion, the largest-ever sale of an israeli tech company at the time. Intel retains approximately 77% of the shares and 96.9% of voting power in Mobileye. Mobileye''s SEC filings state that its employees may be called up for reserve duty in the israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
4. Processor Supply to the israeli Arms Industry (Elbit Systems): Intel is a direct supplier to Elbit Systems, israil''s largest private weapons manufacturer. The israeli military uses Intel Core i7 processors in its ETC MK7 and MK7+ tactical computer series. The ETC MK7 is the digital backbone of the Merkava Mk. 4 battle tank, used for command-and-control and tactical data dissemination. In this way, Intel processors are directly linked to kinetic ground operations and the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza.
5. AI Research Center in Collaboration with the Technion: In 2018, Intel launched an artificial intelligence research center in collaboration with the Technion-israel Institute of Technology, an academic institution deeply implicated in the development of weapon systems used in israil''s commission of war crimes against Palestinians. In the current genocide in Gaza, the israeli military has employed AI to enable its "mass assassination factory" targeting Palestinians and civilian infrastructure.
6. Reserve Military Service of Intel israel Employees: According to statements by Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, approximately 17% of the company''s 20,000 employees and contractors in israil are currently serving in the israeli reserves. He added that "we''ve lost several in the conflict from the family, and some of our members have lost their children, and we still have some hostages." In 2024, over 1,500 employees (15%) were called up for reserve duty.
7. Investment in the Occupation Economy and Support for the israeli Military: Intel has invested more than $50 billion in the israeli economy over 50 years. In 2020, Intel indirectly employed approximately 53,000 workers in israil. israel''s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (who describes himself as a "fascist homophobe") warmly welcomed Intel''s $25 billion investment, saying: "This investment, at a time when israil wages war against utter wickedness, a war in which good must prevail." Intel is listed in the BDS-1000 index with a score of 712 out of 1000 (Tier B - Severe), and the DBIO coalition listed it among 104 companies complicit in genocide and apartheid.
