Muslim Ummah.
Zionism = Racism

and worked with Disney to develop its content.
Zionism = Apartheid

Zionism = Systematic Genocide
Sara Lee
Sara Lee has a 30% share in Delta Galil, an Israeli textile
company that has been cited by Sweatshop Watch for grossly
violating Palestinian human rights.
Timberland
Timberland CEO, Jeffrey Swartz suggested sending 100 IDF
thugs to the US for a week as ambassadors for Israel. He
felt Israel's message was not reaching the US public.
Chevron (including Caltex and Texaco brands)
US fossil fuel multinational Chevron is the main corporation
extracting gas claimed by apartheid Israel in the East
Mediterranean. Chevron generates billions in revenues,
strengthening Israel's war chest and apartheid system,
exacerbating the climate crisis and Gaza siege, and is
complicit in depriving the Palestinian people of their right
to sovereignty over their natural resources. Chevron has
thousands of retail gas stations around the world under the
Chevron, Caltex, and Texaco brand names.
Intel
In December 2023, amidst Israel's genocide in Gaza, Intel
announced that it will invest $25 billion in apartheid
Israel. In June 2024, following prolonged BDS pressure, and
in response mainly to the financial risk of investing in a
#ShutDownNation, the tech giant dropped the project,
according to Israeli financial media sources. For decades,
Intel has been the largest international investor in
apartheid Israel. Its plant at "Kiryat Gat" is built on land
within the boundaries of the Palestinian village of Iraq al
Manshiya, which was ethnically cleansed, razed to the
ground, and then replaced by the current Israeli settlement.
Intel remains deeply complicit in feeding Israel's genocidal
war chest.
DELL
Dell Technologies supplies the servers, maintains services
and related equipment to the Israeli military as a part of a
$150 million 2023 contract funded by US foreign aid. Dell is
committed to Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing of indigenous
Palestinians by establishing research and development
activity in Israel's National Cyber Park that attempts to
strengthen illegal settlements in the Naqab, displacing
Palestinian Bedouin communities. One month into Israel's
Gaza genocide, founder and CEO Michael Dell donated $350
million worth of shares to Israel, further solidifying the
genocidal partnership between Israel and Dell
Technologies.
Siemens
Siemens (Germany) is the main contractor for the Euro-Asia
Interconnector, an Israel-EU submarine electricity cable
that is planned to connect Israel's illegal settlements in
the occupied Palestinian territory to Europe.
Siemens-branded electrical appliances are sold globally.
Hewlett Packard (HP)
Hewlett Packard (HP), including Hewlett Packard Enterprise
(HPE) and HP Inc., is a significant enabler of Israel's
ongoing occupation. Through its partnerships with the
Israeli government, military, prisons and police, HP
provides critical technological and logistical support that
facilitates war crimes and crimes against humanity,
including illegal settlement construction and apartheid in
the OPT. HPE supports Israel's Population and Immigration
Authority, a crucial pillar of its apartheid system, by
providing technology for its databases and IT systems. HP
Inc (US) provides services to the offices of genocide
leaders, Israeli PM Netanyahu and Financial Minister
Smotrich.
Carrefour
The France-based multinational retailer is involved in war
crimes committed by the Israeli regime of
settler-colonialism and apartheid over the Palestinian
people. It started with the French group announcing a
franchise partnership with Electra Consumer Products (ECP)
and its retail subsidiary, Yenot Bitan, both active in the
illegal Israeli settlement enterprise. During Israel's
genocidal assault against Palestinians in Gaza,
Carrefour-Israel has supported Israeli soldiers partaking in
the unfolding genocide of Palestinians in Gaza with gifts of
personal packages. Evidence also shows that there is at
least one Carrefour-branded branch in an illegal settlement
in the OPT. Since its launch, Carrefour-Israel's complicity
has only become worse.
Electra Retail Ltd., a subsidiary of Electra Consumer
Products, has a partnership with Israeli bank Hapoalim,
which is listed in the UN database for complicity in
Israel's illegal settlement enterprise. Carrefour has also
received loans from four major complicit Israeli banks, and
it has established a partnership with six complicit
high-tech Israeli start-ups on artificial intelligence,
cybersecurity, among others.
AXA
Insurance giant AXA (France) holds $150.43 million -
US$78.87 million in shares and US$71.56 million in bonds -
in eleven companies that are arming Israel during its
genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, including Boeing and
General Dynamics. Both companies' weapons have been directly
linked to Israeli attacks on Palestinians in Gaza, including
mass killings, such as the bombing of the Tel al-Sultan
refugee camp in Rafah on 26 May, and the 10 September
bombing of Palestinians sheltering in al-Mawasi, which
Israel had designated as a "safe zone."
Disney+
Cancel or don't sign up for Disney+ subscriptions! Disney
and its subsidiary Marvel are complicit in glorifying
Israel's regime of genocide and apartheid against Indigenous
Palestinians. Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World and
Disney's Snow White star actors Shira Haas and Gal Gadot,
respectively, that have consciously and irrefutably taken up
roles as cultural ambassadors for Israel, directly
representing genocidal Israel's propaganda efforts. For
Captain America, Marvel and Disney are reviving the racist
character of Ruth Bat-Seraph, whose decades-old backstory
includes working for Mossad. Disney+ is therefore clearly
implicated in enabling Israel's genocide by dehumanizing
Palestinians.
SodaStream
SodaStream is an Israeli company that is actively complicit
in Israel's policy of displacing the indigenous
Bedouin-Palestinian citizens of present-day Israel in the
Naqab (Negev) and has a long history of racial
discrimination against Palestinian workers.
RE/MAX
RE/MAX (US) markets and sells property in illegal Israeli
settlements built on stolen Palestinian land, thus enabling
Israel's colonization of the occupied West Bank, including
East Jerusalem.
Zionism is the root cause of the continuous state of war and
unrest in the Middle East.
Everyone has the right to life, liberty and personal
security. As of January 2004, the Palestinian child rights
organization Defense for Children International/Palestine
Section (DCI/PS) has documented the deaths of over 500
Palestinian children (under 18). These deaths are the result
of Israeli occupation policies implemented in the West Bank,
including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip since September
2000. DCI/PS reports that an estimated 10,000 children have
been wounded during that period.
The majority of these children have been killed or injured
while going about normal daily activities, such as going to
school, playing, shopping, or simply being in their homes.
Sixty-four percent of children killed during the first six
months of 2003 died as a result of Israeli air and ground
attacks, or from indiscriminate fire from Israeli
soldiers.
For the past 36 years, each generation of Palestinian
children has grown up under Israeli occupation. The
occupation not only impacts their immediate physical
integrity and mental health, but also has a profound impact
on their future. At present, children live in an environment
of extreme instability and are exposed to violence on a
daily basis. Vital factors necessary for their healthy
development, including stability, security, recreation, and
sound nutrition is frequently lacking.
Israel has failed to comply with over 60 UN resolutions with
impunity. It regularly uses WMD against a largely
defenseless Palestinian population; it is in illegal
occupation of territory assigned to the Palestinian people,
extending its illegal colonies all the time.
What does it use as its justification? Zionism: an organized
movement for the establishment of a Jewish state in
Palestine - by any means necessary.
Allah Almighty says: "Verily this Ummah of yours is one
Ummah." (Qur'an 21:92) Allah Almighty also says: "Surely the
believers are a single brotherhood." (Qur'an 49:10) There is
also a hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon
him), that states "The Muslim is the brother to the Muslim,
he can't oppress him, he can't give him up, he can't let him
down." (Transmitted by Muslim)
How many times do we let our Muslim brothers and sisters
down by way of "tribalism," by way of divisiveness, by way
of fear of the modern day "Pharoah of the many tent poles"?
Let's make choices that don't inadvertently support the
companies that support the oppression of our brothers and
sisters, and our Muslim children.
"Each riyah, dirham..., etc. used to buy their goods
eventually become bullets to be fired into the hearts of
brothers and children in Palestine. For this reason, it is
an obligation not to help them (the enemies of Islam) by
buying their goods. To buy their goods is to support
tyranny, oppression and aggression."
