🧵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!

🚨 30 Palestinians were killed and 180 injured in #Gaza as they were trying to get food near an aid point in Rafah, after Israeli tanks and US-backed guards opened fire.
This massacre didn’t happen in a vacuum. Donald Trump (@POTUS) helped make it possible!
A thread⤵️
With Israel closing central aid points in #Gaza, tens of thousands were herded into one site on Saturday, only to be shot at in what survivors called a “deliberate ambush”
Eyewitnesses described tanks mounting sand mounds around a civilian hiding pit. Once full, the tanks opened fire on the starving crowd. Many were shot while trying to escape. Field footage confirms US-affiliated guards threw grenades at civilians.
🧵After 21 months of relentless Israeli genocide, Palestinians in the #Gaza Strip are crammed into a fraction of their land, living with less personal space than detainees at Guantanamo
🧵Israel’s blockade criminalises baby formula, transforming a newborn’s first feed into a deliberate weapon of genocide
Hospital records show hundreds of premature infants at risk of imminent death as formula vanishes—UNFPA confirms Gaza has completely run out of baby milk
Beyond the NICU, tens of thousands of infants under six months are at risk of starvation. There is no formula, and their mothers are too malnourished and dehydrated to breastfeed
🧵Israeli forces have intensified direct and deliberate attacks on Palestinian civilians, increasingly targeting shelters and tents of displaced persons. This escalation reflects a clear policy to further the crime of genocide in the #Gaza Strip
Israeli warplanes have launched a series of intense airstrikes on densely populated residential areas in the Tuffah neighbourhood, east of Gaza City, killing over 23 civilians, including women and children, and injuring dozens
According to documentation from Euro-Med Monitor’s field team, the airstrikes began at approximately 12:30 p.m., targeting a gathering of civilians at the Snafour intersection in the neighbourhood. Three civilians, including two brothers, were killed and several others injured
🧵Since the start of Israel’s genocide in #Gaza, thousands of Palestinians have left the Strip or been evacuated by certain countries.
But here’s why even this seemingly “voluntary migration” is, in reality, forced displacement, a calculated part of Israel’s broader plan of ethnic cleansing⤵️
