Hang Up on Motorola

Hang Up on Motorola

Join thousands of other human rights advocates demanding accountability from Motorola for its support of Israeli human rights violations. There are several ways that Motorola and their wholy owned subsidiary, Motorola-Israel, profit directly from violations of international law:

  • Motorola has the exclusive contract to provide the Israeli military with encrypted mobile phone technology. This means that every Israeli boarder guard manning a checkpoint inside of Palestinian territory and every Israeli soldier committing war crimes in the assault on the Gaza Strip takes their orders through a Motorola device.

  • Motorola "virtual fences" and surveillance systems are used at dozens of illegal Israeli settlements built on Palestinian land. These Jewish-only settlements are a potent symbol Israeli apartheid and are illegal under several international laws, including the 4th Geneva Convention. Settlements use high-tech Motorola equipment to ghettoize Palestinian communities as confiscate their land.

  • Motorola also has close ties with Aeronautics Defense Systems (ADS), which makes drone aircraft that the Israeli military used during Operation Cast Lead (the most recent assault on the Gaza Strip). Last April Motorola sold their bomb fuze division to ADS, just after Human Rights Watch reported finding debris from Motorola bomb components in the rubble of civilian buildings in the Gaza Strip.

West Bank, (Pal Telegraph)- Israeli police allowed yesterday dozens of Jews to enter Al-Aqsa mosque in the occupied Jerusalem, restricting the movement of the Palestinian Jerusalemites.

Local sources told that, Israeli occupation forces completely isolated the city and intensified their security procedures by erecting a number of checkpoints as they were preparing to the Passover holiday which will remain for the 27th of this month..

Sources added that groups of Jews invaded the old town, harassed citizens , and vandalized their properties while they were heading to Al-Buraq courtyard to perform their rituals to mark the Passover day.

The Jews guarded by Israeli police passed from Al-Magharba gate and roamed the courtyards and squares of Al-Aqsa mosque, provoking Muslim prayers, according to witnesses .

Occupation police closed yesterday many streets of the old town, preventing citizens in and out of the area and allowed free movement to only vehicles that were carrying settlers .
