Summary: This report investigates the corporate machinery sustaining Israel’s settler-colonial project of displacement and replacement of the Palestinians in the occupied territory. While political leaders and governments shirk their obligations, far too many corporate entities have profited from Israel’s economy of illegal occupation, apartheid and now, genocide. The complicity exposed by this report is just the tip of the iceberg; ending it will not happen without holding the private sector accountable, including its executives. International law recognizes varying degrees of responsibility – each requiring scrutiny and accountability, particularly in this case, where a people’s self-determination and very existence are at stake. This is a necessary step to end the genocide and dismantle the global system that has allowed it.

Chris Hedges’ Report: “Genocide requires a vast network and billions of dollars to sustain it. Israel could not carry out its mass slaughter of the Palestinians without this ecosystem. These entities, which profit from industrial violence against the Palestinians and mass displacement, are as guilty of genocide as the Israeli militray units decimating the people in Gaza. They too are war criminals, They too must be held accountable.”

Summary: “Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on Palestine, releases report accusing more than 45 entities of making money from Israel’s Gaza genocide and illegal occupation of the West Bank.

The creation of the State of Israel has always been a project of erase/replace: erasing Palestinians and replacing Palestinians with imported Jewish immigrants from around the world. This is why Israel has always gone to extreme lengths to destroy Palestinian towns, villages, homes and communities; why they changed the names of places; why they planted (unwanted) European trees and why they have no problem blowing up hills to make way for ugly Israeli settlements or scarifying the landscape with an eight-meter (nearly 27 feet) high wall. But to do all of this requires money – a lot of it – and it requires complicity. It turns out, it is also very, very profitable.

That fact is underscored in a blistering report, released this week by UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, which documents more than 45 entities worldwide (among a database of 1,000 corporate entities) that it accuses of being complicit in Israel’s human rights violations and international crimes in Palestine. These entities, though wielding more power than many states, exploit gaps in international law…”
