Profit from Suffering: UN Expert Exposes Major Corporations Cashing In on Israel's Gaza Offensive

The establishment of the State of Israel has consistently aimed to erase the Palestinian presence and replace it with Jewish immigrants from various global origins. This motive underlies Israel's relentless efforts to obliterate Palestinian communities, rename locations, introduce non-native European flora, and destroy landscapes for the sake of unsightly settlements and towering walls. Such endeavors demand substantial financial backing and complicity, which, astonishingly, has proven quite lucrative. A recent and compelling report by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese identifies over 45 global entities implicated in facilitating Israel's human rights violations against Palestinians. This includes military giants like Elbit Systems and Lockheed Martin, as well as technology and financial firms like Google and Amazon. Albanese emphasizes that Israel's continuous occupation serves as a prime testing ground for arms manufacturers, ensuring high profits with minimal oversight. As the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement marks its 20th anniversary, the call for corporate accountability remains paramount. This reality, echoed in Albanese's findings, signals that those enabling these atrocities must ultimately face justice.
