On February 12, 2026, Engineers Against Apartheid (EAA), a collective of workers in the metro-Detroit area, protested in front of FANUC America in Rochester Hills, MI. The protest was endorsed organizations such as Palestinian Youth Movement, US Palestinian Community Network, Michigan Divest, JVP, and BDS Japan Bulletin, WSU SJP, and SAFE.  

The international protests are a result of a recent report published by the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, "From the Economy of Occupation to the Economy of Genocide", where the FANUC Corporation is called out for being a key contributor to the ongoing genocide in Palestine.  Key companies such as Elbit Systems, Israeli Aerospace Industries, and Lockheed Martin are identified in the report as utilizing FANUC robots within their manufacturing facilities to build the 155mm artillery shells and F-35 components used against civilians in Gaza.
