Mocks genocide and supports Israel. Zara's latest marketing campaign uses corpses in plastic wrapping, and warzone aesthetics, mocking the genocide by israel in Gaza. In a previous incident Joey Schwebel, a Canadian-Israeli dual national and chairman of israel's Zara franchisee Trimera, hosted the convicted terrorist Itamar Ben-Gvir at his home in the lead-up to the Israeli elections. Zara did not made a statement distancing themselves from this association and allowed this ad campaign to run.

Puma

Highly Israel-supporting. Puma is the main sponsor of the Israel Football Association (IFA), which includes teams in Israel’s illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

Marks and Spencer / M&S

Purely jewish brand and zionism-supporting over decades. Marks & Spencer has been a pro zionist entity since its inception, with various members of its management openly declaring support for the zionist state. For over 100 years, they have been the biggest commercial conduit between Israel and the UK. More recently however, they have publicly distanced themselves from having 'political' ties and aims. And since the last statements in support of Israel were around the year 2000, it is difficult to tell how much their leadership supports Israel.

Nike

Sells products in stores in Israel, occupied-Palestine, and have sponsorship deals with several Israeli athletes and teams.

History of BAE Systems

BAE Systems, one of the world's largest defense contractors, has a storied history dating back to the 19th century. It traces its origins to numerous mergers and acquisitions, including the formation of British Aerospace (BAe) in 1977 through the merger of British Aircraft Corporation, Hawker Siddeley Aviation, and Scottish Aviation. Throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries, BAe Systems expanded its portfolio through various acquisitions, including the purchase of Marconi Electronic Systems in 1999, which solidified its position as a major player in the defense and aerospace industry.

The company underwent a significant transformation in 2000 with the merger of British Aerospace and Marconi Electronic Systems, forming BAE Systems plc. This merger expanded the company's capabilities and global reach, allowing it to provide a wide range of products and services, including military aircraft, naval ships, cybersecurity solutions, and advanced electronics. BAE Systems has since become a key supplier to militaries around the world, with operations spanning the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. Despite facing challenges such as defense budget cuts and geopolitical shifts, BAE Systems continues to innovate and adapt to meet the evolving needs of its customers in the defense and security sectors, solidifying its position as a leader in the global defense industry.
