Is CBS on BDS List?

Boycott

CBS has to be boycotted

David Ellison, son of Larry Ellison (the biggest private funder of the Israeli army and close friend of Netanyahu), has taken control of Paramount Global, including CBS. Larry Ellison still holds major influence behind the scenes through his company Oracle, which has deep ties to both the CIA and Israel’s security establishment. Oracle’s CEO Safra Catz has said the company is openly committed to Israel and those who disagree can leave. David Ellison’s takeover is expected to push CBS toward a more pro-Trump and pro-Israel direction, especially with Bari Weiss, known for her strong support of Israel, being considered for a key position at the network.

Intel

Al-Awda, the Palestinian Right to Return Coalition, has called on Intel to close its plants in Kiryat Gat, site of the former Palestinian villages Iraq al-Manshiya and Faluja. Israeli historian Benny Morris has written that during the 1948-49 Israeli war of independence with Palestinians and their Arab allies, the villages’ residents were all expelled in line with Israel’s “strategic desire to achieve ‘Arab-clear’ frontiers.” Intel, whose processors can be found in about 80 percent of the world’s computers, has reportedly invested $2.7 billion to upgrade its Kiryat Gat plants where it is working on new chips that will make computers lighter and faster. That brings its total investments in Israel to about $10 billion, and it has also benefited from more than $1 billion in Israeli government.

History of CBS

CBS, which stands for Columbia Broadcasting System, was founded in 1927 as a radio network by William S. Paley. It quickly became one of the leading radio broadcasters in the United States, known for its popular entertainment programs and news coverage. Under Paley’s leadership, CBS focused on building strong relationships with advertisers and affiliate stations, helping it grow rapidly during the early years of broadcasting.

In the late 1940s, CBS expanded into television and became one of the “Big Three” networks in America, alongside NBC and ABC. It introduced many groundbreaking shows that defined the golden age of television, including I Love Lucy, The Twilight Zone, and The Ed Sullivan Show. CBS News also gained a reputation for credibility and in-depth reporting, with anchors like Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite becoming household names.

Over the decades, CBS went through multiple ownership changes and business transformations. It merged with Viacom in 2000, separated in 2006, and later re-merged under Paramount Global in 2019. Today, CBS operates as a major part of Paramount Global, continuing its legacy in television, streaming, and digital media through platforms like CBS News, CBS Sports, and Paramount+.
