🧵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!

🧵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⤵️
🧵Yesterday, for the first time in nearly 4 months, aid trucks finally reached @AneraOrg's warehouses in Gaza, a small breakthrough after relentless Israeli restrictions and the use of organised looting gangs to block and steal humanitarian supplies over the past months.
But just hours later, Israel announced another halt of aid deliveries, reportedly after far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich threatened to quit the government if aid was allowed in.
This comes with the recycled and untrue claim that Palestinian armed factions are stealing humanitarian aid, a narrative Israel has pushed since the start of its starvation policy as a means to justify blocking food, medicine, and fuel from entering Gaza.
.@AneraOrg, an international relief organisation operating in Gaza, has confirmed that its aid was received safely and reached its warehouses in Gaza. The claim of factional theft remains unsubstantiated and serves only to deflect blame from Israel’s deliberate use of starvation as a weapon of war.
