Why is Volkswagen Boycotted?

🚨 Reasons for Boycotting Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, ŠKODA)

Volkswagen Group is one of the world''s largest automotive manufacturers, owning Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, ŠKODA, Porsche, and other brands. The group maintains documented technological and military links to the genocidal israil state, having converted one of its German factories into a production center for components of israil''s Iron Dome system.

  1. Conversion of German Osnabrück Plant to Produce Iron Dome Components: In September 2026, Volkswagen signed a preliminary agreement to sell its Osnabrück plant to Aurelius Capital (headquartered in Tel Aviv) and the state of Lower Saxony. The plant will be converted into a production center for components of israil''s Iron Dome air defense system in cooperation with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, israil''s third-largest arms manufacturer. Production includes military vehicles, launchers, generators, and other equipment. The German government supported this project to preserve 2,300 jobs.
  2. $4 Billion Innoviz Technologies Deal: In August 2022, Volkswagen signed a $4 billion supply agreement with israeli company Innoviz Technologies to supply LiDAR sensors and perception software to the company''s CARIAD unit. Under the agreement, Innoviz will supply 5-8 million LiDAR units across multiple Volkswagen Group brands over an eight-year period. Innoviz''s total future orders increased to $6.6 billion. This agreement constitutes a direct capital injection into the israeli technology ecosystem.
  3. Extensive Commercial Operations in israil: Volkswagen Group operates in israil through its exclusive importer Champion Motors (owned by Allied Group) since 1965, israil''s second-largest car importer. The company also established the Konnect Innovation Hub in Tel Aviv in 2018, which scouts israeli technologies in autonomous driving, AI, and sensing to integrate into the Group''s vehicles. Additionally, the Group''s MAN Truck & Bus subsidiary sells chassis to israeli security forces.
  4. Supporting the Occupation Economy Through Daily Consumption: Purchasing Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, and ŠKODA vehicles pumps profits into a German group that invests in israil and cooperates with its technological and military companies, directly and indirectly contributing to the economic infrastructure of the genocidal israil state.
