You can put pressure on Teva Pharmaceuticals
Medicine should heal, not fund war crimes.
Why it matters
Teva Pharmaceuticals, one of the world’s largest generic drug manufacturers, is an Israeli company with a documented history of direct support for the Israeli military.
Teva previously took part in the “Adopt-a-Battalion” program, providing financial sponsorship and maintaining contact with specific units of the Israeli army. In recent years, Teva has also donated medical supplies and equipment to the IDF, helping sustain military operations.
Teva benefits from Israeli trade policies that discriminate against Palestinian territories.
As one of Israel’s largest corporations, Teva pays hundreds of millions in taxes to the Israeli government. These funds help sustain military operations responsible for the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
For all these reasons, Teva has the responsibility to end all material support to the Israeli military, publicly condemn the genocide in Gaza, use its lobbying influence and economic power to pressure the Israeli government to stop the genocide in Gaza, commit to non-complicity with war crimes and apartheid.
