.@VolvoCEGlobal machinery is used by Israeli occupation forces to demolish Pal homes and pillage of natural resources which Palestinians are systematically prevented access to, including water and land.
Since May 2022, Volvo’s heavy machinery has been used to carry out the demolition of Palestinian communities homes, most recently in Al-Fakheet and Al-Markez villages, in Masafer Yatta.
German @Deutsche Bank, Swedish @SEBGroup and French @BNP Paribas are the top creditors to @VolvoGroup between 2019 and 2022, providing millions worth of loans and underwriting.
The French retailer @Carrefour announced a new partnership with the Israeli company @Electra Consumer Products and its subsidiary @Yenot Bitan which operates in illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.
This deal indicates Carrefour’s complete disregard for its responsibilities under international law, opting to enhance business profits from stolen land and human rights violations.

Israeli settlements are a fundamental component of Israel’s apartheid and colonial regime over the Palestinian people.
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.
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.
Yesterday marked the 105th anniversary of the #BalfourDeclaration, a fateful, colonial statement by the British government that paved the way for establishing a Jewish supremacist settler-colony in Palestine.
The Balfour Declaration laid the foundation for the 1948 #Nakba, the #EthnicCleansing of between 750,000 and 1,000,000 Indigenous Palestinians at the hands of Zionist militias, and subsequently Israeli forces.
The ongoing Palestinian Nakba entails Israel’s relentless land theft, denial of human rights & legalized racial discrimination, made possible by massive military, economic & political support from the U.S., EU, U.K. & other complicit states, international orgs & corporations.
🧵 New report just out: “Farms, arms and Israel's agro-diplomacy” from @GRAIN_org pulls back the curtain on the destructive role of apartheid Israel’s agro-military complex around the world.
Rooted in Israel's colonization of Palestine and the dispossession of its Indigenous people, apartheid Israel’s agri-buisness has become a major tool for exporting exploitation and injustice around the world.
The Palestinian-led global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian rights, and particularly its affiliate in France, @Campagnebds, warmly congratulate French author Annie Ernaux for winning the prestigious Nobel Prize for Literature 2022.
We join many in celebrating this distinguished recognition of Ernaux’s literary creativity and prowess also because of her principled commitment to fighting oppression globally, including her support for the nonviolent struggle for Palestinian freedom, justice and equality.
Ernaux’s courageous endorsement of impactful measures to hold accountable Israel’s apartheid regime and its complicit cultural institutions stands out.
