Why Motorola?

Communication Devices for Occupation:

Motorola’s $100 million “Mountain Rose” communication system enhances the efficiency of Israeli occupying forces. Patterns of human rights violations in the Occupied Palestinian include, but are not limited to, the killing and injuring of civilians, torture, extra-judicial assassinations, deliberate destruction of civilian infrastructure, acts of collective punishment and economic warfare.

Surveillance Devices for Israel’s Illegal Wall:

Motorola supplies the “Wide Area Surveillance System” (WAAS) to monitor and maintain Israel’s illegal wall constructed in violation of the July 2004 International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory opinion. This wall is perhaps the strongest symbol of Israeli Apartheid, carving the West Bank into Bantustans. 

Surveillance Devices for Israel’s Illegal Settlements:

Motorola has made $93 million providing radar detection devices and thermal cameras for 47 illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land. Israel’s confiscation of Palestinian land, illegal settlements, illegal wall, and continued occupation would not be possible without Motorola's compliance.

In the past, Motorola has yielded to public pressure and stopped it's cooperation with human rights abusing regimes in South Africa and Burma. Recently, in response to our boycott, Motorola sold its subsidiary Motorola Israel, the company that manufactures bomb fuses that kill Palestinians. We can draw from this legacy to end Motorola’s current support for Israeli apartheid.  Keep up the good work, everyone!
