Motorola Mobility (which makes phones) is a US subsidiary of the Chinese company Lenovo. It is not Israeli.
Motorola Solutions (which makes communication equipment and software) is a US publicly traded company which is heavily involved in the Israeli military (and other governments) and settlements.
They both split off Motorola Inc in 2011, but are different, independent companies.
Motorola has always been a pretty stupid company. Back in the 1990s, Motorola made CPUs (that division has since been spun off into its own business under the name of Freescale). As desktop computers (as opposed to terminals connected to a mainframe) went from “too expensive to consider worthwhile” in the early 70s to “every business has to have them” in the 1990s, the number of brands of computer available shrank. (Wang and Tandy were basically gone by 1990, and Amiga was on its way out — and never really got anywhere in the business market in the US anyway.) By and large, by 1990 or so, all US businesses were using either Macs or DOS-based PCs. (At that time, Windows 95 was not out yet and earlier versions of Windows were… less than wonderful.) At that time, Macs used Motorola CPUs (specifically the 680X0 family, a successor of which Freescale sells under the name “Dragonball”) but DOS PCs used Intel’s X86 family, so every Mac purchased made a bit of profit for Motorola and every DOS PC purchased gave money to Motorola’s competition. (GPUs were not A Thing yet.) Motorola’s different divisions used different platforms basically because nobody had considered the implications. Then in the mid to late 1990s, I forget the exact year, Motorola’s management announced that the entire company had to standardize on one type of computer… and they chose DOS PCs, so that their own company was paying money to a competitor instead of using their own products, and even had to make an enormous payment right away to bring the non-compliant divisions up to speed. That’s the kind of decision making they do.
