Ex-Apple Worker Warns: 'The Company Is Filled With Israeli Spies' (www.youtube.com)

Apple is deeply embedded in Israel, says Tariq Ra'ouf, a Palestinian writer who worked for more than a decade in Apple retail before he was fired in 2024 for speaking out against the company's silence on Gaza. He joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra to break down Apple's ties to Tel Aviv, including its extensive R&D centers in Israel and its $2 billion purchase of an AI startup founded by Unit 8200 veterans. He also explains the systemic discipline faced by pro-Palestine Apple workers — fired for wearing keffiyehs while the company matched employee donations to Friends of the IDF — and warns that having Israeli military intelligence veterans integrated into the supply chain of the world's most popular devices should terrify every consumer.

Ra'ouf also lays out how the minerals in your iPhone connect the company to genocide in Congo, why organizers are calling for pickets at Apple stores on launch day – and how customers and workers can and should get involved.
