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?

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?
