Greenwashing is a marketing spin that is used by countries and corporations deceptively promoting themselves as climate friendly to cover up the substantial climate harm that their policies and practices cause.

Greenwashing exacerbates the climate emergency as well as social and ecological injustices. Israel uses greenwashing to promote a climate-friendly image to cover up its decades-old regime of military occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid.

#GreenwashingApartheid Image
Aside from apartheid Israel's regime of violent ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Palestinians and destruction of lives and livelihoods, Israel has also systematically devastated the fauna and flora of historical Palestine.

#GreenwashingApartheid Image
The racist Jewish National Fund (JNF) greenwashes apartheid Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by taking over their land & planting it with invasive tree species.

A @GRAIN_org report shows that companies #LRGroup, #Mitrelli, #Tahal & Netafim, which are intrinsically linked to Israel’s apartheid, impose toxic models of agriculture that promote corruption, oppression, & farmers’ dispossession across the global south.

.@mekorot_il builds water networks in Israel's illegal settlements & manages water stolen from Palestinians. By refusing to construct water networks in 45 Bedouin villages, Mekorot is part of Israel’s “water apartheid”. #COP27 Image
Companies like @AXA and @PUMA play a key role in apartheid Israel’s greenwashing & destruction of Palestinian agriculture, dispossession, & land grabs.

Hypocrisy alert! AXA #FutureRisksReport mentions climate change as one of the main risks while AXA invests in Israeli banks financing apartheid, land-grabs and the destruction of the environment!

In September, @PUMA staged a “sustainability” conference in London as a green smokescreen to conceal its support for and profiting from illegal Israeli settlements–a war crime under international law.

#BlockTheBoat: The arms ship MV Kathrin reappears in the port of Alexandria, Egypt.

Is Egypt helping to transfer crucial military explosives to Israel’s genocide against the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza? Image
The MV Kathrin has been sailing for over two months, shunned by ports in Africa and Europe after Namibia’s authorities discovered the vessel was transporting military explosives for Israel’s genocide and its brutal bombings of Lebanon and other Arab people.

The Portuguese government eventually forced the Kathrin to give up its flag and the vessel had to resort to the flag of Germany, the flagbearer of genocide.Image
After this journey of refusals, the Kathrin navigated for over a week off radar. Journalists spotted her in Porto Romano, Albania, still carrying what seemed to include the 8 containers of 150,000 kg of RDX explosives for Israeli military industries.

On 28 October, the vessel reappeared docking and unloading on the military berth of the port of Alexandria.Image

#ShutDownNation: Global Divestment, Economic Strain, and the Accelerating “Collapse” of Israel’s Economy.

loom.ly/cB_JkFUImage
“BDS and boycotts have changed Israel’s global trade landscape,” said Avi Balashnikov, Chairman of the Israel Export Institute. He added, “we fight every day, hour by hour, for Israeli industry abroad. Economic boycotts and BDS organizations present major challenges, and in some countries, we are forced to operate under the radar.”Image
Warning of Israel’s “downfall” and military “collapse” should the “war of attrition” continue, influential and once Netanyahu-confidant Maj. Gen. Yitzhak Brik has recently said: “Israel's economy, international relations and social cohesiveness are severely damaged by this war.” Image

Albania is complicit in genocide against the Palestinian people: The ship MV Kathrin, carrying military supplies for Israel, docks and unloads cargo at the Albanian port of Durrës. Image
We ask Albania: Are the explosives destined for Israeli Military Industries still on the ship? Where are they now? Image
Image
We condemn Albania for this clear violation of its obligations under international law and call on all people of conscience to put pressure on Albania to do what is right. Image

It's time to #DumpCisco Image
"The sight of officers in uniforms sitting next to our engineers ... is very natural to us, but still exciting," says a former Cisco VP of Technology.

The company has operations in illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Image
Image
Cisco profits from Israel’s apartheid system and materially supports Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza. Image

Planting a flag on genocide.

Germany grants its flag to the MV Kathrin, a ship carrying military explosives destined for use by Israel in its genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

#BlockTheBoat Image
The ship is carrying 150,000 kg of RDX explosives that Israeli Military Industries crucially needs to build more bombs.

Germany must be put back in the dock at the ICJ for its gross violation of the Genocide Convention! Image
Germany’s shameless military support for Israel’s genocide is escalating at a time when Israel is intensifying its horrors in Gaza, burning dozens of forcibly displaced Palestinians, including many children, alive in their tents and brutally starves hundreds of thousands. Image

BREAKING: Chevron halts major expansion of Israeli-claimed gas field amid Israel's ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza and its brutal bombings in Lebanon, Syria and beyond. Image
Chevron is putting the brakes on an expansion project––worth roughly half a billion dollars––planned for an Israeli-claimed gas field in the Mediterranean, Leviathan, citing the worsening “security situation.” Image
Since the beginning of Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, BDS activists have escalated their calls for Chevron to immediately end its support for Israel’s crimes by cutting all energy contracts with the apartheid state. Image
