Who profits from Israel's occupation of Palestine?
The website Who Profits? identifies Israeli and international corporations directly involved in the occupation: in the construction of Israeli colonies and infrastructure in the occupied territories; in the settlements’ economy; in building walls and checkpoints; in the supply of specific equipment used in the control and repression of the civilian population under occupation.
The database is part of an on-going grassroots investigation by The Coalition of Women for Peace. The Coalition is "dedicated to ending the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights and reaching a just peace in Israel/ Palestine. In exposing companies and corporations involved in the occupation, we hope to promote a change in public opinion and corporate policies, leading to an end to the occupation."

"The Heresies Collective published HERESIES; A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics from 1977-1992... All the women (ages 54-84) are still doing the work they fought for the right to do when they founded HERESIES."
