That article looks like a repeat of the other article. I didn’t see anything new in it that we haven’t see in the first one. Neither article shows any evidence that Apple employees or Apple themselves have contributed any funds to those Israeli/IDF charities.
Its unlikely Apple chose any of the charities listed. The charities listed are from the Benevity platform (which potentially lists every single 501(c)(3) charity registered with the IRS).
There’s far more going on than just the contributions, when it comes to Apple’s material support to Israel
That’s certainly possible, but the Apple/Apple Employee donations to Israeli/IDF charities claim looks like misinformation.
The matching program is setup in such a way that we CAN’T verify how much apple has donated through the matching program. On this topic, the issue is with Apple allowing donor matching to Apartheid, Genocide, and Settler Colonialism in the first place.
Additionally, through Project Nimbus, israel is directly funding the Zionist project, both financially as it’s a 1.2 billion dollar project, and military as this project is used to bolster the Israeli military apparatus. Not to mention how Apple has fired those who employees oppose Apple’s financial ties and projects with Israel.
There’s also the issue of Apple having factories in Israel. Either way you cut it, Apple materially supports Israel, and by extension the Apartheid, Genocide, and all other aspects of ethnic cleansing intrinsic to the Zionist project.

Right, but there’s zero evidence the donation amount is more than $0.
I’ve explained how a corporate donation platform works in my first post. You’re misconstruing it at something else like a sinister plan cloaked in shadows. Not everything is a conspiracy. Instead its a boring corporate-outsourcing-bureaucracy. Apple (and other companies that use these donation platforms) want to offer the benefit to their employees for HR reasons as well as tax cuts for charitable donations. They contract with a benefits donation company, in this Benevity. The list of charities isn’t hand-picked to be Israeli/IDF charities, its likely all IRS registered charities.

I agree Apple should exclude these charities even as an option for donation, but you’re painting this like Apple is donation money directly to the IDF. There is just zero evidence that is occurring even if it would support your argument better if they were.
I think I realized why I’m so disappointed in your line of thought on this. Its the lack of consistency in your accusation on the use of this donation platform. Why is it you’re only calling out Apple for “allowing donor matching to Apartheid, Genocide, and Settler Colonialism”? Why are you not calling out the literally hundreds of other companies that allow the exact same donation possibility?

Cool, then go with those where there’s actual evidence of support of Israel. If you’ve got good examples with good evidence, why make up implications with the employee donation thing?
Except Thing 1 and Thing 2 are the same thing. Hundreds of companies are using Benevity and probably also have the same pathway for Israeli/IDF charities donations, yet you’re singling out Apple.
So your “Does not care about Thing 2” is “you don’t care about other companies possibly donating to Israeli/IDF charities through Benevity”?
Why is a post about Apple’s matching of donations to Israel about Apple? Wow, what a brain teaser.
This post is about supporting the Apple employees just demands to stop and investigate these donations. You’re just concern trolling over not having the findings of that investigation already available.
additional open letter started by even more Apple employees, demanding the removal of organizations on the company’s Benevity site that fund and weaponize illegal settlements in the West Bank. Yes, you read that right! Apple Inc. matches 100% to organizations in Israel that fund and arm illegal settlements on stolen Palestinian land.
I already boycott any company supporting israel and do my part for my local BDS movements. What the fuck are you doing besides running defence for apple here? You sure as hell ignored all the other connections Apple has with Israel.

You’re the only one who’s only focused on apple here
Use the No Thanks or even join a BDS working group
If your outrage on the non-existant donations is rational, where are your posts for the hundreds of other companies that are using Benevity?

You’re the one making up that distinction.
