Chevron CorpFossil Fuels1,400,0001,396,445-3,555On top of being the second largest global polluter in the world and one of the most environmentally destructive corporations ever, is the main fossil fuel extractor for Israel, mainly through the Leviathan Gas Field (1). Chevron is complicit in the illegal transfer of fossil gas to Egypt which crosses Gaza and owes millions in transfer fees to Palestinians.Chevron also supports the proposed Eastmed pipeline which would travel through Occupied Palestine (2).Oil extraction is a major incentive for the ongoing genocide in Gaza, with Israel illegally pillaging off-shore gas of the besieged Gaza Strip. In the past week, Israel awarded 12 licenses for oil exploration off the coast of Gaza to international fossil fuel companies (3). While Israel exploits the coast of Gaza, it uses oil exploration to justify denying Gazans the right to swim, fish, or boat in their waters, which they impose with brutal and deadly force (4).1) https://bdsmovement.net/siemens-and-chevron-stop-fueling-apartheid-and-climate-disaster

UNDISCLOSED (under $500 000)
NAVolvo provides armored buses for illegal Israeli settlements (1). Volvo equipment has also been used to demolish Palestinian homes. Despite denying accountability for demolition, Volvo is the co-owner of Merkavim Ltd, an Israeli transport company that produced these buses and provides them to settlements in the Occupied West Bank that are illegal under international law. In doing so, Volvo enables settler violence against Palestinians. Throughout 2023 there averaged 3 instances of settler violence per day, which has doubled to 7 per day in the past month (2). Settler violence, which includes setting homes and trees on fire and physically attacking and killing Palestinians, including children, is enabled and supported by the Zionist regime. In the past month, the Israeli defense minister has purchased 10,000 assault rifles to be distributed to settlers (3), who often commit attacks in tandem with the Israeli police force and face no legal reprecussions.1) https://bdsmovement.net/news/volvo-providing-armored-buses-israeli-settlements

UnileverFood and Drink663,685605,482-58,203After Ben & Jerry's board of directors took a "principled" stance of solidarity by voting to not sell their products in "present-day Israel and its illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory (OPT)", Unilever PLC - which owns Ben and Jerry's - sold its interests to Israeli licensee AQP. In this repressive action, the CEO of Unilever wrote “We have never expressed any support for the BDS movement and have no intention of changing that position," (2). In supressing and denouncing BDS, a peaceful form of protest called for by the Palestinian people, Unilever is complicit in the ongoing genocide in Palestine.1) https://bdsmovement.net/news/statement-unilevers-sale-ben-jerrys-interests-apartheid-israel
