Siemens is complicit in apartheid Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise through its planned construction of the EuroAsia Interconnector.

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 Hewlett-Packard

Hewlett-Packard (HP) has a storied history dating back to 1939 when it was founded by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard in a garage in Palo Alto, California. Initially, the company focused on producing electronic test equipment, including oscillators and audio equipment. HP gained early recognition for its commitment to innovation and quality, setting the stage for its future success. One of its early breakthroughs was the invention of the HP Model 200A, an audio oscillator used in the production of sound for movies.

Throughout the decades, HP expanded its product line into computing, introducing its first computer in 1966, the HP 2116A, which was primarily used for scientific and engineering applications. The company continued to diversify, entering the printer market in the 1980s with the introduction of the first mass-market laser printer, the HP LaserJet. This move proved pivotal, as HP became a leader in printing technology, solidifying its position as a major player in the tech industry. Over the years, HP has undergone various transformations, including spin-offs and mergers, but its commitment to innovation and quality remains central to its identity. Today, HP continues to be a global leader in personal computing, printing, and related services, maintaining its legacy of innovation established by its founders over eight decades ago.
