Interview: "It looks like I've hit a nerve." ~Francesca Albanese The US has sanctioned Albanese following her scathing report, which named over 60 companies, including major US technology firms Google, Amazon & Microsoft, involved in "the transformation of Israel's economy of occupation to an economy of genocide". #USPol #FrancescaAlbanese #GazaGenocide @palestine group .
Analysis: "In conditions like the conditions the Palestinian people in Gaza face today, the concept of free choice is a lie." “Israel has no right even to be in Gaza or in the West Bank.. everything Israel does there.. is also illegal, including in implementing any of these plans for forced displacement whether within or outside of Gaza." ~International law expert Ralph Wilde #GazaGenocide #USPol #EuroPol IsraeliLies @palestine group . image
Report: UN urged to take legal action at ICJ to uphold Francesca Albanese’s diplomatic immunity. The US sanctioned Albanese for her work scrutinising Israeli & US actions in occupied Palestine. "Special rapporteurs enjoy full diplomatic immunity under international law", enabling them to "carry out their work independently without interruption." Fellow experts suggest the US sanctions can be challenged at the ICJ. #UN #ICJ #USPol #EuroPol #USSanctions @palestine group .
Analysis: The GHF distribution sites are positioned to aid Israel's ethnic cleansing of Gaza. ~analyst Daniel Levy Israel says it aims to move 2 million Gazans into a tiny area in the south. Levy says it can't accommodate them & it's not Israel's real intention. “The intention is to use this as a staging post to ethnically cleanse, physically remove, as many as possible Palestinians from the landscape." #EthnicCleansing #GHF #USPol #EuroPol @palestine group . image
Interview: "Israel's Tech Boom & the Economy of Genocide" "Israel is known as a startup nation. And the tech part of Israel's economy is central to why the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange has boomed since the October 7th attacks." Francesca Albanese explains the “economy of genocide", ie, how "major corporations have been profiting off of Israel’s genocide in Gaza & its occupation in the West Bank." #USPol #EuroPol #EconomyOfGenocide #BigTech #SettlerColonialism @palestine group .
Analysis: "The Persecution of Francesca Albanese" "When the history of the genocide in Gaza is written, one of the most courageous & outspoken champions for justice & the adherence to international law will be Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur". The US sanctioning of Francesca Albanese "is an ominous harbinger of the end of the rule of international law." #FrancescaAlbanese #InternationalLaw #USPol #EuroPol @palestine group .
Interview: Israel’s plan to push Palestinians into Rafah is "part of a second Nakba". "The intention is for this to be more comprehensive than the original ethnic cleansing [in 1948] & the attempts subsequently to displace Palestinians.” ~Daniel Levy, British-Israeli analyst & former peace negotiator #Nakba #GazaGenocide #GazaConcentrationCamp @palestine group . image
Panel: "What are Israel & the US hoping to do with Gaza?" The joint plan appears to include forcibly displacing Gazans. And what were Netanyahu’s political ambitions for this US visit, which included flattering Trump via a nomination for a Nobel peace prize?

Report: Israeli minister Katz wants to confine ~2m Gazans in a "secure zone" in Rafah, where they'd "temporarily reside, deradicalize, re-integrate" & prepare to "voluntarily emigrate” to other countries. Katz wants "international bodies" to run the camp, but, given the obvious intent to annex Gaza, they're unlikely to cooperate. Except, of course, the GHF. https://www.timesofisrael.com/katz-calls-for-confining-all-gazans-in-humanitarian-city-built-over-rafahs-ruins/ #GazaGenocide #GHF #USPol #EuroPol #EthnicCleansing @palestine group .
