Hewlett-Packard does not appear to be the type of company that gets embroiled in nasty international conflicts.
But given the volatile nature of conflict, appearances can quickly change.
Unbeknownst to many Americans, the Palo Alto computing giant makes the high-tech identification cards Israel uses to operate checkpoints in the disputed West Bank, territory Israel captured in 1967 but Palestinians claim as their own country.

If HP gets out, Israel will simply start making their own ... no big deal ...
computing giant?
Aren’t they laying off 50,000?
Are they still going to be a “giant”?
bump
It’s polarizing more and more into Israel and Christians against the World. The Bible predicted this thousands of years ago. We are in prophetic times. Hold on to you hats. If you don’t know Jesus, receive Him now. He will be you ticket outta here before things REALLY get nasty.
“Are they still going to be a “giant”?”
No... they haven’t been since I retired. I was employee 49,000.
Bingo.
lol
Two grammar school kids in Jerusalem could make these, Israel doesn’t need to buy them from USA (Watch the company for any response or dhimmitude anyway because it has had instances of not hiring ( or even interviewing) some very highly qualified or capable Americans with Jewish names back at its Palo Alto HQ. It will be interesting to see if the firm has cleaned out any nazi or islamoNazi tendencies it may have had in past times).
It was Israeli Intel folks who saved the company’s bacon when their PC processors were getting to hot and inefficient. Israel has the talent to do without HP altogether.
“Are they still going to be a “giant”?”
They still have over 300,000 employees.
Yes, they are still giant.
Dave Packard told the joint cheifs that if he could, he’d fire them. HP is not the company it used to be. By a lot.
Thomas lee is a typical pro terrorist Jew hating libtard scum.

It's worth noting that HP isn't quoted in the article that I could see, or has ever suggested concern about their presence in Israel. This is the reporters opinion.
