Quite ironic that now IBM has a role in the occupation of Palestine [1]. IBM is sometimes mentioned in the BDS movement (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions). ht

- yellowapple 12y agoI don't think it's ironic at all, at least when looking at the bigger picture. The trend in IBM's dealings is not a propensity to go after customers with poor human rights track records, but to go after customers that will make them a lot of money. Governments - like those of Germany and South Africa - are a big target of IBM's sales, whether they're literally genocidal maniacs or poster-children of world peace.
