Consumers may not know it, but buying products like Sabra hummus and Sodastream helps fuel Israel’s military control over Palestinians. Some companies have factories located in one of the 125 officially recognized settlements in occupied Palestine, which are illegal under international law.

Buying these products gives profits to companies who exploit Palestinian land and resources.
Here are six consumer products and companies that help keep the Israeli occupation rolling along.
Read about these companies and how they support the occupation. The companies are: SodaStream, Sabra Hummus, Tribe Hummus, Ahava, Hewlett Packard and Motorola.
