Who Profits from the Occupation is a research project dedicated to exposing the commercial involvement of Israeli and international companies in the continuing Israeli control over Palestinian and Syrian land. Currently, we focus our attention on three main areas of corporate involvement in the occupation: The Settlement Industry, Economic Exploitation and Control of Population.
Online Database and Information Centre
On this website, the project publishes information about companies which are commercially active in the occupation. The online database reflects a part of an on-going investigation. The project serves as an information centre for queries about corporate involvement in the occupation from individuals and civil society organizations working to end the Israeli occupation and/or to promote international law, social corporate responsibility, social justice and labour rights, in Israel and internationally

- Over 50% of the worlds Medjool dates are produced in Israel.
- 60% of Israeli dates are grown on illegal settlement plantations in the Jordan Valley.
- Israeli profits from dates in 2011 = $265 million
If you buy a Medjool date, there’s a strong possibility that it is from an illegal settlement - grown on stolen land.
