Funny how 'arms manufacturers' and 'big tech' are now obviously mentioned in a single sentence, eh?

Hey @EUCommission 👋
The UN Special Rapporteur concludes you've been financing apartheid and genocide.
Over €2.1 billion since 2014.
Is there anything you'd like to add?
'Colonial endeavours and associated genocides have historically been driven and enabled by the corporate sector'
-- Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967
Burn 🔥🔥🔥
But it's so true
What sort of violations may corporations have committed in Palestine?
Any corporate entity that continued its activities and relationships with 'Israel' may knowingly have contributed to:
- (a) Violation of the Palestinian right to self-determination;
- (b) Annexation of Palestinian territory, maintenance of an unlawful occupation and therefore the crime of aggression and associated human rights violations;
- (c) Crimes of apartheid and genocide;
- (d) Other ancillary crimes and violations.
according to the UN Special Rapporteur.
How are universities and centres of research & learning involved?
Sometimes their contribution is financial and material. (Viz. EU Horizon money channelled to zionist entities; research for weapons and surveillance tools.)
But universities' role is also, especially, ideological. Offering respectability and legitimacy to entities that are in truth neither respectable nor legitimate.
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese:
Universities – centres of intellectual growth and power – have sustained the political ideology underpinning the colonization of Palestinian land, developed weaponry and overlooked or even endorsed systemic violence, while global research collaborations have obscured Palestinian erasure behind a veil of academic neutrality.
Good old Booking*com gets a mention too, in the section on 'Occupation tourism'.
The UN Special Rapporteur finds that Booking and Airbnb 'profit from the occupation by selling tourism that sustains the colonies, excludes Palestinians, promotes settler narratives and legitimizes annexation.'
Booking is already facing a criminal complaint in the Netherlands on suspicions of money laundering its criminal profits.
