Apple Matches Worker Donations to IDF and Illegal Settlements, Employees Allege

Self-described Apple workers, former employees, and shareholders are calling on the company to halt donations to nonprofits linked to Israel

AN OPEN LETTER from Apple employees and shareholders demands the tech giant stop matching employee donations to organizations with ties to the Israeli military assault on the Gaza Strip and ongoing illegal settlement development in the West Bank. The letter, building on a previous demand by Apple employees for a ceasefire in the conflict, calls on the company to “promptly investigate and cease matching donations to all organizations that further illegal settlements in occupied territories and support the IDF.” As with many large corporations, Apple employees can make donations to a number of nonprofit organizations and receive matching contributions from their employer through a platform called Benevity. Among the charitable organizations eligible for dollar-matching from Apple are Friends of the IDF, an organization that collects donations on behalf of soldiers in the Israeli military, as well as a number of groups that contribute to the settlement enterprise in the West Bank, including HaYovel, One Israel Fund, the Jewish National Fund, and IsraelGives. Apple did not respond to a request for comment.

This isn't the only genocide Apple is funding.

I couldn't say that I've been sharing it day & night, I just pretended that I've forgot.https://t.co/eHXcQ6k8n2

Children suffering from malnutrition in Gaza will be stunted for life, "if they survive," @unicefchief says. "It's a painful, painful death for children."

They banned baby formula from entering Gaza. Baby formula. https://t.co/R5ttX5Socw

In 1991, the US bombed a baby formula factory in Iraq as part of "Op Desert Storm." The US lied, saying it was a biological weapons facility, when really it was the only source of infant formula food for children one year and younger in Iraq.

The first of a collection of eight images showing various places in Gaza with graffiti. This first one shows several partly damaged buildings, with one long wall on front. in it, with red and black graffiti, is english and arabic text that reads "Gaza: Promise we will rebuild it".

This second one is a close up of a building with a completly fallen wall surrounded by debris. There's text in arabic written in it.

Another closeup to a building with a hill of debris next to it. On a fallen wall is more text in arabic, with "Gaza" written in english on top.

This one shows a street with an almost demolished building. In one of the only standing walls, is written text in arabic with "Stop War" written below in red and green.

A destroyed building. In one of the only partly remaining walls is text in arabic with "Gaza" written in english on top.

A demolished mosque. The dome, partly damaged with some remaining blue paint, also has text in arabic with "Gaza" written in english on top of it. To the left, in a destroyed wall, is the silhouette of the map of Palestine, including the territories that Israel is currently occupying.

A half destroyed building. In a fallen column, red text in arabic can be read, with "Gaza" in english at the left of it.

An image of a partly damaged building surrounded by debris. In a long wall in front of it, there's arabic and english text, which reads "Gaza: promise we will rebuild it". To the right is the same map of Palestine previously described.

The caption of the previous pictures, above is text in arabic, and below is the english translation. The latter reads "As you walk through the streets of Gaza, you won't find a wall without the phrase 'We promise, Gaza, we will rebuild you.' This is the spirit of Gaza's youth. Despite the ongoing war, their love for their homeland and their city has not died. It's not just resilience; it's a legacy that Palestinians have inherited through generations. Palestine is a cause, and a cause never dies. By: Haneen Salem"

🇵🇸💚 “Gaza: promise we will rebuild it” despite Israel’s seeminly never ending destruction and murders, a future for Palestine continues to live on.

[Plain text: “Gaza: promise we will rebuild it” despite Israel’s seeminly never ending destruction and murders, a future for Palestine continues to live on.]
