"Amnesty International is calling on economic actors to "pull the plug" on the economy supporting Israel's genocide and apartheid in Palestine, naming 15 companies, including U.S. surveillance firm Palantir, acting as major backers. In a report published Thursday, the human rights groups named a litany of actions that governments, companies, and other groups must take to eliminate the "political economy underpinning Israel's international crimes.""
"The report names three U.S. companies as contributors to Israel's occupation: Arms makers Boeing and Lockheed Martin, as well as Palantir, which has close ties to the Trump administration. It also names Israeli companies Corsight, Elbit Systems, Mekorot, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Israel Aerospace Industries; as well as Chinese company Hikvision, Spanish manufacturer Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, and South Korean conglomerate HD Hyundai."
Amnesty International identified 15 companies it says underpin Israel's genocide and apartheid in Palestine, naming U.S. firms Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir among others. Israeli firms listed include Corsight, Elbit Systems, Mekorot, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Israel Aerospace Industries; international companies named include Hikvision, Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, and HD Hyundai. The group urged states to halt trade with and divest from companies contributing to the genocide and urged companies to suspend contracts with Israeli forces. The group emphasized that the 15 named companies represent a small sample of a broader political economy supporting international crimes.
