A report finds Marks & Spencer has "High Complicity" with the Israeli state's occupation. The complicity is described as structural, stemming from a deep reliance on Israeli agricultural suppliers, or "aggregators," that are integrated with illegal settlements. The company's dependence on these suppliers for winter crops and its integration of Israeli technology make it a critical economic partner for the Israeli state, despite its public removal of direct "settlement goods."

Airbnb is deemed an active participant in Israeli occupation, identified as a "Digital Quartermaster" for settlements. It monetizes ~300 listings in illegal OPT settlements, collects taxes for Israel, and houses IDF soldiers. Its policy reversal indicates "Governance Capture."

Lidl, via Schwarz Group, is deemed a strategic enabler of the Israeli military-intelligence complex. Its Schwarz Digits division, through the XM Cyber acquisition (founded by ex-Mossad/Unit 8200), integrates Israeli cyber warfare into European infrastructure, raising sovereignty concerns. Lidl also supports settlements through agricultural sourcing from Mehadrin and Hadiklaim.

Google

Score: 975 / 1000

Google (Alphabet Inc.) is a Tier 1 Strategic Defense Partner of Israel, integrating its cloud infrastructure (Project Nimbus) into the IDF's command-and-control. Google Cloud Platform provided computational elasticity for IDF kinetic operations in Gaza, linking Google to the "kill chain." A "Winking Mechanism" alerts Israel to foreign judicial inquiries.

Intel

Score: 965 / 1000

Intel is deemed a "National Strategic Asset" for Israel, deeply integrated into its military and economy. Its Altera FPGAs are critical for missile defense, Intel Core i7s power Merkava tanks, and a $25B wartime investment boosts the economy, while its Russia boycott contrasts this deep engagement.

Nvidia

Score: 938 / 1000

Nvidia is described as a foundational infrastructure entity in Israel, deeply integrated through a corporate-state fusion strategy, making it a critical R&D hub. It is materially complicit in the Israeli military-industrial complex, providing Jetson modules for autonomous weapons and GPUs for AI targeting systems, enabling the IDF's data-centric warfare.
