@resist1984 Unfortunately the list of companies deeply embedded in Israel is very long. They include Google, Intel, Microsoft, AT&T, and a slew of others. You basically need to throw out your cell phone and computer which is not really an option for companies or individuals. Other strategies need to be employed.
@krock my boycotts go deep indeed. I do not have mobile phone service and I already boycott MACFANG for other reasons. I also boycott AT&T especially because they are an #ALEC member (they finance extreme rt wing politics in the US, such as climate denial). But note that Motorola and HP directly support Israeli military (HP has a hand in the gaza blockade & motorola supplies them)
@krock boycotting seems to be the easiest thing we can do as individuals, but else do you have in mind? Americans can vote against US politicians who support Israel's oppression & expanding colonization, but that's a bit of a futile effort in a 2 party system. All the power is on the side of oppression.
@resist1984 Pressure should be applied on all fronts, but I have no great recommendation. My point is that the US and a very large number of its tech and A&D companies are deeply invested there. These companies and the US gov could pressure Israel but are unlikely or unable to abandon Israel.

Boycot China while you're add it, who has millions Uighurs in slave concentration camps as we speak. That means, well, every single product you probably own.
Oops, is that inconvenient?
@pox I boycott the greater of evils for every transaction. So if the shortlist is too long after eliminating all brand-specific boycotts, regions indeed come into play, in which case I boycott #Israel, #China, & pro-forced-birth states (#Alabama #Arkansas #Georgia #Kentucky #Louisiana #Mississippi #Missouri #NorthDakota #Ohio #Texas). I patronize the lesser of evils.
@resist1984 and how to boycot #hamas ?
