HP has been a longstanding technology supplier to the Israeli government and military, including critical infrastructure that enables the enforcement of occupation and apartheid.
It has supplied Itanium servers used to operate Israel’s population registry system (Aviv), a key apparatus in the Israeli Ministry of Interior that tracks citizenship, residency, and family relationships. This system underpins discriminatory policies and movement restrictions targeting Palestinians. HP has also been involved in providing technology to Israeli military checkpoints and the Israeli Administration of Border Crossings, Population and Immigration, which governs the tightly controlled movement of Palestinians in and out of occupied territory.
HP operates R&D centers in Kiryat Gat, a city built on the ruins of two ethnically cleansed Palestinian villages, contributing to the development of Israel’s printing and computing infrastructure.
Despite global pressure and protest, HP continues its entanglement with Israeli apartheid infrastructure. The BDS National Committee has named HP one of its core boycott targets, and grassroots campaigns worldwide have cost the company an estimated $120 million in lost contracts and divestments due to its documented complicity.
HP is rated High Impact for its direct involvement in developing and maintaining the digital infrastructure of Israeli apartheid. The company’s technologies are used in population control systems, border management, and biometric surveillance—all critical to Israel’s regime of domination over Palestinians.
HP has actively built tools for systemic oppression, including databases and hardware for the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Interior. This goes beyond symbolic affiliation. HP’s role is operational, infrastructural, and sustained. Its presence in occupied areas and partnership with apartheid enforcers makes it a top-tier boycott target.
