Filed under: Tech companies · Companies that support Israel
Background
Elbit's inclusion here rests on what it is and whom it supplies — an Israeli company and the Israeli military's leading domestic contractor — documented through its own announcements, SEC filings, and business press. Separately, Elbit is the most prominent corporate target of the BDS movement's military-embargo campaign and of direct-action groups: the UK network Palestine Action was founded in 2020 with Elbit as its primary target and has blockaded, occupied, and damaged Elbit sites in Britain. Four activists were convicted and sentenced in 2026 over a 2024 raid on Elbit's Filton (Bristol) facility that prosecutors said caused about £1 million in damage, and the UK government proscribed Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act in July 2025 — a ban that has since been challenged in court. That campaign history explains the company's prominence on boycott lists; it is context, not the evidence itself.
