My understanding is that the Intel management, especially former CEO Pat Geislinger, are ideological supporters of Israel [1], and that they have repeatedly made decisions to prop up bad investments in Israel because of that ideology.

One of those decisions was to put an Intel factory on the land of a Palestinian village that had been ethnically cleansed by Israel during the 1948 Nakba.

Another was to announce in Dec 2023, at a time when Israel was losing international support due to what was becoming internationally recognized as a genocide, that it was about to invest $25B in a new factory in Israel [2]. Intel investors were not happy and Intel was made to reverse this decision.
