Background
Taboola appears on boycott lists because it is an Israeli company, not because of rumors: it was founded in Israel by Adam Singolda, is incorporated in Israel and governed by Israeli law, and keeps its largest office there even though executive headquarters are in New York. After October 7, 2023 its wartime record consists of supporting its Israeli employees and their families, the CEO's forceful public statements condemning Hamas, and a public break with Web Summit over its founder's criticism of Israel. No direct corporate donations to the Israeli military are documented; the internal donation link it shared was for voluntary employee contributions.

Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations in Israel | 2007 | — | State of Israel (incorporation, employment, R&D, tech ecosystem) Israeli company: founded in Israel in 2007 by Adam Singolda (a graduate of the IDF's elite Mamram program), incorporated in Israel and governed by Israeli law, listed on Nasdaq (TBLA) since 2021. Executive headquarters are in New York, but its largest office is in Israel (Ramat Gan, with engineering also in Beer Sheva); Singolda has said 'Israel is very important, it is the heart of the company'. Its Q3 2023 shareholder letter notes around 10% of revenue comes from advertisers headquartered in Israel. | |
| Public statement | 2023-10-12 | — | Israel and Taboola's Israeli employees CEO Adam Singolda addressed roughly 2,000 Taboola employees after the October 7 attack and published his notes as 'Standing together in a war against evil': he said he was 'heartbroken... and dying inside by the horrific acts of the Hamas terror organization', called Hamas 'a group whose only reason to exist is to kill Jews', and vowed 'good will always beat evil'. Taboola's Q3 2023 shareholder letter opened by addressing 'the war in Israel' and closed: 'For those of you in Israel, my heart is with you always.' Statements are Singolda's as CEO, carried in official company communications. | |
| Employee support | 2023-10 | — | Taboola's Israeli employees and their families After October 7, 2023 the company stood up support systems for affected Israeli employees and their families — coordinated by its HR, talent-acquisition and administration teams — covering the bereaved, families of hostages (a Taboola engineer's two nephews were taken hostage) and reservists (Singolda's brother served as a combat doctor), and shared an internal donation link for employees who wanted to contribute. The company told shareholders: 'The safety and well-being of our employees is our top priority and we have implemented multiple initiatives to support them and their families during this crisis.' | |
| Public statement | 2023-10-17 | — | Web Summit boycott over criticism of Israel Taboola was among the Israeli tech companies (with Wiz, Lightricks, Bright Data, AI21 Labs and others) that withdrew from the Web Summit conference in Lisbon after founder Paddy Cosgrave accused Israel of 'war crimes'. Singolda, a longtime attendee, wrote that a week into the war 'when mothers are seeing their babies burned alive by terrorists, when nearly 200 people are still kept hostage... is just not a good time Paddy to be right, and you're just wrong', adding 'I'll never be part of your future initiatives and we'll never work together again.' |
