Intel to Illegally Build a Plant on Palestinian Land

December 3, 2005

According to newspaper reports, Intel, one of the largest chip-makers in the world, will be building a $3.5 billion plant next to its existing facility in ‘Kiryat Gat’. The extra plant will be built on land that belongs to the Palestinian village of Iraq Al Manshiya. According to Zionist historian Benny Morris, Israel expelled the villagers of Iraq Al Manshiya by “intimidation using all means.”

Please Call and write to:

Craig R Barret, Chairman of the Board
Email: Craig.R.barrett@intel.com,
Phone: 480-554-5977

Paul Otelline, President and CEO
Email: Paul.Otellini@intel.com
Phone: 408-765-5551

To demand that Intel abandon its investments in Israel.

Please note:

  • The company’s proposed expansion site is located on land confiscated from the Palestinian village of Iraq Al-Manshiya.
  • Israel forced out the original inhabitants of Iraq Al-Manshiya and the nearby village of Al-Faluja after the 1948 war ended contrary to international law and an armistice agreement sponsored by the UN and which Israel signed.
  • Intel should not participate and allow Israel to have economic benefits from the illegal dispossession of Palestinians. Israel is denying Palestinian refugees their right to return to their lands and homes which it is occupying. This natural and inalienable right is enshrined in the
    Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Law, and is supported by numerous UN resolutions.
  • Intel has far more attractive long-term options for building and expanding in other countries. These options serve Intel’s customers, shareholders and employees in far more productive and honorable ways.

    • please cc your correspondence to alerts@al-awda.org
