Francesca Albanese, the report on Gaza and the Palestinian territories: employment and genocide continue because they are profitable

From the economy of employment to the economy of genocide: the multimiliarding profits collected by companies from all over the globe in supporting and maintaining the Israeli settlement colonialism project. The title already says everything and says it clearly. On a battered territory such as the Palestinian one, in addition to Israeli occupation and attacks there is a network of economic advantages and gains from all over the world. This had anticipated a Vanity Fair Francesca Albanesespecial speaker of the United Nations on the occupied Palestinian territories, and this tells in the report now published.

Here the complete report.

In this report, we read in the initial synthesis, “the special speaker on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 investigates the corporate mechanisms that support the Israeli colonial project of displacement and replacement of the Palestinians in the occupied territories. While leaders and governments are escaped from their obligations, Too many corporate entities have profit from the Israeli economy of illegal employment, apartheid and now of the genocide. The complicity denounced by the relationship is only the tip of the iceberg; End you will not be possible without calling the private sector to answer, including its managers. International law recognizes several degrees of responsibility, each of which requires an in -depth examination and an assumption of responsibility, in particular in this case, where self -determination and existence of a people are at stake. This is a necessary step to end the genocide and dismantle the global system that allowed it».

According to the report, there is an economy linked to the occupation that has been going on for decades for Israel. «Militarized violence has created the state of Israel and remains the engine of its colonial settlement project. Israeli and international weapons manufacturers have developed increasingly effective systems to hunt Palestinians from their lands. Collaborating and competing, they have perfected technologies that allow Israel to intensify oppression, repression and destruction. The prolonged occupation and repeated military campaigns provided a test for cutting -edge military capacity: air defense platforms, drones, pointing tools based on artificial intelligence and even the F-35 program led by the United States of America. These technologies are then marketed as “Tested in Battle” …. At 2020 and 2024, Israel was the eighth greater exporter of weapons in the world. 51 The two most important Israeli companies producing weapons-Elbit Systems, established as a public-private and subsequently privatized partnership, and the Israel Aerospace Industries, of state property-are among the state property- main weapons manufacturers worldwide “.

Francesca Albanese then tells of the international companies that would surround this employment, war and then genocide economy. They are multinationals, universities, banks, investment funds, technology companies. 48 were mentioned, those that have had information of the investigations, but there are many others :, Google, Amazon, HP, Microsoft, IBM, the Italian Leonardo, Chevron, Caterpillar, Volvo, Hyundai, Lockheed Martin, Airbnb.

«After October 2023, the weapons and military technologies used to promote Palestinian expulsion have become tools for mass killings and destruction, making Gaza and uninhabitable, part of the West Bank. The surveillance and incarceration technologies, normally used to impose segregation/apartheid, have evolved into tools to indiscriminately affect the Palestinian population. Heavy machinery previously used for demolitions of houses, destruction of infrastructure and seizure of resources in the West Bank have been reused to cancel the urban landscape of Gaza, preventing the displaced populations from returning and reconstituting themselves as a community “.

These are the conclusions. «While the life in Gaza is annihilated and the West Bank is subjected to a growing assault, This report shows why the genocide perpetrated by Israel continues: because it is profitable for many. By shedding light on the political economy of an occupation that has become genocidal, the report reveals how eternal occupation has become the ideal test bench for weapons producers and large technological companies, guaranteeing unlimited offer and demand, poor supervision and zero responsibilities, while investors and public and private institutions are freely profit from it. Too many influential corporate entities remain inextricably financially linked to Israeli apartheid and militarism. After October 2023, with the doubling of the Israeli defense budget and in a period of decrease in demand, production and trust of consumers, an international network of companies supported the Israeli economy. Blackrock and Vanguard are classified among the major investors in companies of fundamental weapons for the genocidal arsenal of Israel. The main global banks have signed titles of the Israeli treasure, who financed the devastation, and the major sovereign and pension funds have invested in public titles and private savings in the genocidal economy, while claiming to respect the ethical guidelines “.

The invitation of those who have drawn up the relationship is to impose sanctions, interrupt relationships, stop business, give support and repairs to the Palestinian people. The request is also of a judicial continuation.
