Dell, the consumer-facing brand of Dell Technologies, sells laptops, desktops, servers, and enterprise IT solutions worldwide. Beyond its role as a household PC provider, Dell’s technology underpins sensitive state and military systems in Israel. Its servers and networking hardware are used by the Israeli military and security agencies, embedding everyday consumer purchases within an occupation-linked supply chain.
Dell is rated High Impact because it provides core technological infrastructure for Israel’s military and surveillance state. Its contracts with the Ministry of Defense, funded through U.S. military aid, integrate Dell hardware into systems of occupation, settlement expansion, and repression in Gaza and the West Bank.
Reports indicate that Dell systems are tied to AI-driven targeting programs implicated in civilian deaths, showing how its role extends beyond neutral supply into active facilitation of war crimes. Unlike companies with indirect financial exposure, Dell directly equips and maintains the digital and physical control infrastructure of apartheid.
Public commitments from leadership and philanthropy directed to pro-IDF causes further cement Dell’s political alignment. Boycotting Dell targets not only consumer hardware but also the legitimacy of tech companies that profit from militarized control and dispossession.
