Open-source platforms, ethical startups, and digital companies that have taken documented positions supporting Palestinian rights.
Tech & Digital
The tech industry has been one of the most contested spaces in the Palestine solidarity movement. While many large tech corporations have faced boycott pressure for contracts with the Israeli government, a number of startups, open-source communities, and ethical tech platforms have publicly supported Palestinian rights through donations, statements, or supply chain decisions.

The No Tech for Apartheid campaign specifically targets Project Nimbus — a $1.2 billion contract between Google, Amazon, and the Israeli government for cloud infrastructure and AI services.
Several major tech companies have faced scrutiny for contracts with the Israeli government. The BDS Movement and No Tech for Apartheid campaign maintain verified, sourced lists. See our Brands to Avoid page for context.
