Corporations Profiting from the Israeli OccupationIt’s not just defense contractors—many U.S.-based companies are profiting from business with Israel, directly or indirectly enabling the Israeli state’s crimes against Palestinians.

The Defense RacketThe U.S. corporations with the most direct complicity in Israeli crimes, of course, are military contractors. Profiting From War, Occupation, and ApartheidLooking beyond weapons companies and their investors, plenty of other U.S. corporations are profiting from the brutal assault on Gaza and the Israeli occupation and apartheid more generally. The Israeli settler movement has long committed violent attacks against Palestinians, often with the implicit or explicit blessing of the Israeli armed forces.
