It’s also very difficult to adhere to BDS in the context of tech products; most of the big players including Intel, Apple have major R&D facilities in Haifa, the ‘israeli Silicon Valley’. Nvidia owns Mellanox.
Loads of tech startups such as PrimeSense (Xbox Kinect and Apple FaceID depth sensors) who go on to be subsumed by tech behemoths have their roots in israeli military skunkworks projects.
I procure server hardware for my company, and have steered them away from using Mellanox network cards and Intel CPU platforms, but most big tech products are riddled with israeli-borne IP.
