Israel grants Intel $3.2B for new $25B chip plant

I was really shocked to see how many major corporations had large offices in Israel. I don't think that's going to be tenable going forward. Everyone I know is looking for ways to reduce their exposure to Israel. Boycotting Intel seems like a no brainer. Also I really don't see stability coming to Israel any time soon. They've lost what global support they had, they're losing the war with Hamas and it's expanding to Hezbollah and the Houthis have successfully blockaded the Red Sea. Add in the fact that none of the younger generations in the west support Israel and it's pretty clear that at best it's going to be chaos for decades in the region, likely ending in a South Africa style ending of apartheid.

> Israel’s government agreed to give Intel a $3.2 billion grant for a new $25 billion chip plant it plans to build in southern Israel

I don't buy Intel processors since 2012, at least. They just gave me another reason to keep it that way for the foreseeable future. I don't want my computer running on silicon from sands used to bury the bodies of bombed children.

It’s basically us taxpayer money going to intel by way of Israel. Nice.

Regardless of your position (or lack thereof) on this conflict...I can't see why typical American employees of Intel would want to subject themselves to the safety risk of being in Israel. Hamas will eventually re-emerge (or something worse), and it is impossible for the Israeli government to provide security guarantees. Do you really want to be there on the day Iron Dome is finally overwhelmed or out-smarted? It will eventually happen.

I'm not sure Israel will ever be considered safe for general work/leisure travel again...which may be a small victory for Hamas...they've changed the status quo forever.
