Background
Wix is one of the most prominent Israeli consumer-tech companies, which is why it appears on boycott lists: the case against it rests on its Israeli identity and wartime conduct rather than on rumors. In October 2023 Wix fired Courtney Carey, an employee in its Dublin office, after she called Israel a 'terrorist state' on LinkedIn; company president Nir Zohar called her remarks 'unfathomable, unexplainable and unacceptable'. In July 2024 Ireland's Workplace Relations Commission found the dismissal procedurally unfair and ordered Wix to pay her €35,000 — less than she sought. The same period saw internal Dublin management messages urging staff to join a company initiative producing pro-Israel campaign content. A viral claim that Hamas itself ran 'Hamas.com' was false: the site, built on Wix's platform, showcased October 7 atrocities and was promoted by Israeli official accounts; fact-checkers found no evidence Hamas or Wix corporate created it.

Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations in Israel | 2006 | — | State of Israel (taxes, employment, tech ecosystem) Israeli company through and through: founded in Tel Aviv in 2006 by Avishai Abrahami, Nadav Abrahami and Giora Kaplan, headquartered in Tel Aviv with additional offices across Israel, and listed on Nasdaq. At its peak it was Israel's most valuable public company with a market capitalization of about $19.5 billion. | |
| In-kind support | 2023-10 | — | War-related Israeli charitable, advocacy and testimony initiatives In the days after October 7, Wix allocated extra resources and team members to build websites for war-related initiatives; by December 2023 the company had built and supported over 180 such sites (volunteering, fundraising, advocacy and hostage-family projects), listed on its dedicated wix4swordsofiron.com hub. It hosted the Arava Tech Centre ('digital first aid', backed by the Israel National Digital Agency) at its Tel Aviv campus, and collaborated on the National Testimonials Database with the Israel Police and the National Library to preserve survivor testimony as potential war-crimes evidence against Hamas. | |
| Public statement | 2023-10 | — | Israeli public-diplomacy effort Management messages in Wix's Dublin office, sent on an internal Slack channel called 'Supporting Israeli Narrative', urged employees to join 'the company's initiative to create videos and creative campaigns' backing Israel's account of the war; after the Irish Times revealed the messages, Wix said it was 'addressing' them. Attributed to Dublin-office management as reported, within a company-wide pro-Israel initiative. | |
| Employee support | 2023 | — | Wix employees displaced or affected by the war During the Swords of Iron war, Wix transferred money directly to the credit cards of affected employees so they could buy what they needed, and set up a dedicated internal support group — company support for its own (largely Israeli) workforce, including reservists' households. | |
| Acquisition | 2025-06 | $80,000,000 | Base44 (Israeli AI app-building startup) Acquired the six-month-old Israeli 'vibe coding' startup Base44, founded by Maor Shlomo, for $80 million in cash plus milestone payments — an investment keeping a fast-growing Israeli AI company inside Israel's largest web-tech group. |
