The Trump administration's sanctions against UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese show how far the U.S. is willing to go to ensure impunity for Israel as it commits genocide.

Human Rights Council
Fifty-ninth session

16 June–11 July 2025

Agenda item 7: Human rights situation in #Palestine and other occupied Arab territories

FROM ECONOMY OF OCCUPATION TO ECONOMY OF GENOCIDE


**Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967***, **
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.

#Microsoft, #Alphabet and #Amazon grant #Israel virtually government-wide access to their cloud and #AI technologies, enhancing data processing, decision-making and surveillance/analysis capacities.[100] In October 2023, when Israel’s internal military cloud overloaded,[101] Microsoft Azure and Project Nimbus Consortium stepped in with critical cloud and AI infrastructure.[102] Their Israel-located servers ensure data sovereignty and a shield from accountability,[103] under favourable contracts offering minimal restrictions or oversight.[104] In July 2024, an Israeli colonel described cloud tech as “a weapon in every sense of the word”, citing these companies.

The Israeli military has developed AI systems like “Lavender”, “Gospel” and “Where’s Daddy?” to process data and generate lists of targets,[106] reshaping modern warfare and illustrating AI’s dual-use nature. #Palantir Technology Inc., whose tech collaboration with Israel long predates October 2023, expanded its support to the Israeli military post-October 2023.[107] There are reasonable grounds to believe Palantir has provided automatic predictive policing technology, core defence infrastructure for rapid and scaled-up construction and deployment of military software, and its Artificial Intelligence Platform, which allows real-time battlefield data integration for automated decision-making.[108] In January 2024, Palantir announced a new strategic partnership with Israel and held a board meeting in Tel Aviv “in solidarity”;[109] in April 2025, #Palantir’s CEO responded to accusations that Palantir had killed Palestinians in Gaza by saying, “mostly terrorists, that’s true”.[110] Both incidents are indicative of executive-level knowledge and purpose vis-à-vis Israel’s unlawful use of force, and failure to prevent such acts or withdraw involvement.

“It’s particularly interesting from [Jackson]. It’s not long ago that Justice Barrett went after Justice Jackson for what she described as basically an imperial judiciary,” Turley said. “And on this occasion, Jackson is alone. She couldn’t even get Justice Sotomayor to sign onto this dissent. Keep in mind, what Sotomayor noted in her concurrence is that this order was simply having agencies plan for downsizing and she said we can hardly stop that.

Catherine Ribeiro - La Guillotine Permanente


Le député Guillotin
Dans la médecine
Très expert et très malin
Fit une machine
Pour purger le corps français
De tous les gens à projets
C'est la guillotine, ô gué!
C'est la guillotine!

Pour punir la trahison
La haute rapine,
Ces amateurs de blasons,
Ces gens qu'on devine,
Voilà pour qui l'on a fait
Ce dont on connaît l'effet,
C'est la guillotine, ô gué!
C'est la guillotine!

À force de comploter
La horde mutine
A gagné sans y penser
Migraine maline
Pour guérir ces messieurs-là,
Un jour on les mènera
À la guillotine, ô gué!
À la guillotine!

De la France, on a chassé
La noble vermine
On a tout rasé, cassé
Et tout mis en ruine
Mais de noble, on a gardé
De mourir le cou tranché
Par la guillotine, ô gué!
Par la guillotine!

Messieurs les nobles mutins
Dont chacun s'échine
Soufflant par des efforts vains
La guerre intestine
Si nous vous prenons vraiment
Vous mourrez très noblement
À la guillotine, ô gué!
À la guillotine!

Le dix nous a procuré
Besogne de reste
Les traîtres ont abondé
C'est pis qu'une peste
Comme on n'en veut pas manquer
On punit sans déplanter
La machine reste, ô gué!
La machine reste!

@Carter Braxton does the word matter, or the thing itself ? People come to a place far from home to stay there. They're immigrants, by the definition of the word. Then there's the relationship they're building up (or not) with other people already here. Usually with several different mode of interaction simultaneously : some people assimilate with the autochtones, some live alongside them, some fight them, etc. Similarly autochtones may simultaneously accept some immigrants, reject some, fight some, etc.

I fail to see what particular value you seem to put in the word "invaders".

in reply to Emmanuel Florac

@Emmanuel Florac The world is not synonymous with the earth. The earth is the physical construct, the tangible, while the world involves the politics the infrastructures, the regulations and the bureaucracies.

One finds it amusing if not sometimes more annoying how Europeans, the original invaders of not only the New World, but Africa, Asia and the Middle East, pretend as if the United States upon its founding, started mistreating the natives.

Europeans love pretending as if they, including the pompous French, had no hand in the mistreating of their colonies of niggers in Africa, the native Americans in their American or Caribbean colonies and the Arabs in the Middle East where the also had colonies. It is as if they have selective memories.

Europeans seem to pretend to forget, that while many of them stayed at home, away from their colonies, they propped up and supported the regimes from their homes. It is time that they are reminded that pretending to have newly washed hands will not absolve them for their past or present selves either.

ICE arrests four people after they appear in immigration court

ICE agents arrested four people Thursday morning outside of immigration courtrooms in downtown San Francisco. Mission Local witnessed one of the arrests in the hallway outside of the courtrooms at 630 Sansome St., an ICE field office that contains some of San Francisco’s immigration courtrooms and a short-term detention facility. The man left the courtroom following his hearing. Mission Local saw him handcuffed in the hallway outside the courtroom, surrounded by ICE agents and the building’s security staff.

"This 17-minute interview today with the UN's Francesca Albanese -- now under outrageous Trump Administration sanctions -- is well worth watching for its hard-hitting analysis of the corporate role in propping up Israeli apartheid. It also points directions for the US movement for BDS to follow in picking its choices for boycotts."
