🧵Your money. Their crimes: UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs exposes how global giants, from weapons manufacturers to tech titans and tourist platforms, are profiting from a billion-dollar industry fueling Israel’s genocide in Gaza
A thread ⤵️
A report by United Nations Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs exposed a billion-dollar global profit machine behind Israel’s genocide and other crimes, revealing how arms dealers, tech giants, bulldozer firms, and banks all cash in on apartheid, land theft, and mass killing.
Albanese’s UN report indicts @LockheedMartin, @ElbitSystemsLtd, @Leonardo_live, and others for fueling Gaza’s apocalypse, their F-35s, drones, and 85,000 tons of bombs, six times Hiroshima’s wrath, devastating 179,411 Palestinian lives in a “live weapons lab” to profit from genocide’s machinery.
No less dangerous than lethal weapons, the digital arsenal exposed in Albanese’s report includes @PalantirTech, @Google, @amazon, @Microsoft and @IBM, whose AI selects targets, cloud systems store data, and surveillance tracks Palestinians, unleashing Israel’s apartheid into a genocidal blaze
Albanese’s report dives deep into infrastructure: @CaterpillarInc, @HDHyundaiCEE, @VolvoCarUSA, @mekorot_il, Tnuva, @bookingcom, @Airbnb, and @Maersk forge the settler colonial skeleton, demolishing homes, displacing Palestinians, stealing resources, raising colonies, trading goods, and luring tourists
Albanese’s report exposes @BNPParibas, @BlackRock, @Vanguard_Group, @Allianz, TUM, @MIT, and @HorizonEU as key financiers backing colonial assets, insuring occupation, shaping narratives, erasing Palestinian history, and justifying assaults through research and capital
Albanese’s report unmasks 48+ corporations spanning 8 sectors, including arms, tech, construction, extractive, banking, insurance, academia, ag/tourism, reaping profits from Palestinian suffering, forging stolen wealth into riches, while admitting findings scratch a vaster crisis and untold billions
Albanese’s report demands:
1️⃣Arms ban
2️⃣Sanctions
3️⃣Asset freezes on involved corps and individuals
4️⃣Trials
5️⃣Tade halt
6️⃣Reparations
Probes into Israel’s crime profiteers
All—states, institutions, corps—must fulfill their legal and moral duty; no failure spares the rest!
Beyond failed states and global bodies, Albanese trusts you, ordinary people, to act where governments fail: boycott Caterpillar, join BDS, divest Vanguard, push lawmakers for sanctions, demand justice for Palestinians, every penny counts, start now!

🧵Blindfolding, handcuffing, beatings, and interrogations… after being forcibly displaced for nearly two years, Israeli forces and affiliated militias are abusing Palestinians returning to the Gaza Strip following the partial reopening of the Rafah crossing.
Euro-Med Monitor met with some of the returnees, who shared the following testimonies ⬇️
🧵#Thread | During their latest meeting, US President Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to develop a “green city” in Rafah, southern #Gaza. The project aims to restrict Palestinians to about half of the Gaza Strip, effectively creating a ghetto where residents would be forcibly displaced from their homes and forced to live in caravans ⤵️
The plan entails grave risks, including the imposition of arrangements that would, in effect, forcibly displace Palestinians from their original places of residence and convert large areas of the Gaza Strip into closed military zones under the direct control of the Israeli army
It represents yet another model of failure in addressing the consequences of the ongoing genocide committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip and advances unrealistic proposals aimed at demographic reengineering and imposing a new reality grounded in control and humiliation
🧵In #Gaza, residents wake up to find a yellow block in their neighbourhood. Once they see it, they grab what they can and flee, knowing their homes will be demolished and that they will never be able to return.
This is how Israel continues to forcibly displace Palestinians in the Strip, even after the ceasefire agreement⤵️
🧵The Israeli army’s extrajudicial killing of two unarmed Palestinians in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, who posed no threat, is part of a continuing pattern of deliberate extrajudicial killings across the occupied Palestinian territory ⤵️
Israeli forces have killed dozens of Palestinians in the West Bank over the past 2 years through extrajudicial killings carried out after the victims were captured or detained. Data from Gaza indicate that ~ 9% of all victims during the genocide were killed in the same manner
On 27 November, an Israeli special forces unit unlawfully raided a house in Jabal Abu Dhahir, Jenin and assaulted a man. During the raid, two men emerged to surrender, unarmed and with their hands raised. Soldiers forced them back inside and shot them at point-blank range
🧵The Israeli Knesset’s approval of a bill to impose the death penalty on Palestinian detainees and prisoners constitutes a dangerous escalation that further entrenches Israel’s apartheid system⤵️
The Knesset’s National Security Committee approved the bill on 3 November ahead of the first reading on 10 November. It now proceeds to second and third readings before becoming law. The bill was introduced by the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party, led by Itamar Ben Gvir
The bill stipulates that “any person who intentionally or recklessly causes the death of an Israeli citizen or a person residing in Israel, when motivated by racism, hatred, or intent to harm Israel or the Israeli people, shall be subject to the death penalty.”
🧵In an Israeli cabinet discussion on enforcing the “Yellow Line” in #Gaza, senior officials debated whether to shoot a child or a donkey first.
The rhetoric, though appalling, reflects a broader pattern in Israeli official language that dehumanises Palestinians, fuels violence, and gives the Israeli military a green light to kill, a reality seen in the deaths of around 67,000 Palestinians in Gaza, over 90% of them civilians.
