The UN Special Rapporteur says some of the world’s largest companies are complicit in and profiting from Israel’s actions in the occupied Palestinian territories. Francesca Albanese’s landmark report identified Microsoft, Amazon and Google as just some of the major US tech firms helping Israel sustain its genocide in Gaza. But UN reports like this have no legal power. And Israel has rejected Albanese’s findings as ‘groundless’, saying it would ‘join the dustbin of history’. So, will big companies despite their financial interests, start to question their ties with Israel? And will consumers around the world bring commercial pressure on those implicated firms?
Presenter: Adrian Finighan
Guests:
Omar Barghouti – Co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement.
Vaniya Agrawal – Former software engineer at Microsoft who resigned earlier this year.
Michael Lynk – Human rights lawyer and a former UN Special Rapporteur for human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

stupid and bamboozled need only to apply – There is a recruitment center near you. THE DEEP state wants you .Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA) who received its mandate from the Committee of 300, also known as the āOlympians. …the conspiracy goes under various names such as the Illuminati, Freemasonry, the Round Table, the Milner Group, Club of Rome, 10 Downing St., CIA. To them the CFR and the Trilaterals represent domestic and foreign policyā¦

Amazon and goggle should be closed for good shame on you greed

The hapless palestinians are continuously facing war crimes and the rest of the world is just busy in enjoying the miracles of digitalisationš¢.
Absolutely that is why they are funding the genocide at 126 millions per day having already spent 1.54 trillion in the past 650+ days towards the Gaza genocide.
The whole western army, gov and tech support Israel. Are you surprised? Its not only MS, Apple, Google and so on. All of them. Living and working in the west = supporting Israel with taxes. The west includes Israel.
This woman ALBANESE is an incompetent liar at best produce the evidencje 9r shut up and go away ALBANESE and her pathetic followers are a joke good on ISREAL and USA d9n,t stop keep going.
Usa has no economy it has no mates ….. China is the gateway to Bric nations its the biggest and fastest growing economy on the planet, where is Nz
There will only be one Mohammed, there will be only one Jesus, there will only be one Abraham. There will be only one Mother Teresa, there will only one Ghandi, there will be only one Mandela.
But there will be many Popes, many dictators, Many Maoās, many Hitlers, many Mussoliniās.
But now we have Francesca Albanese
Isreal, with the support of American and Europian aid and weapons, committed a genocide in the 21st century and continues to do so (which killed more than 20,000+ children, starving to death over 150,000+ pregnant women). Disgusting. History won't be forgiving
Grazie albanese ā¤
The Palestinian population in Gaza grew significantly since October 7, 2023 according to data from the CIA World Factbook. This includes the time period of Israelās defensive war against the Hamas terror organization: which terror apologists (falsely) call a āgenocide.ā Indeed, this may be the first āgenocideā in history in which the population grew massively larger.
Isn't it odd to call for companies to stop selling their products to Israel? Shouldn't the focus be on the real issue – leaders like Netanyahu and Trump? Rather than blaming others, why not address the root cause and work toward a real solution?
Not watched & thumbs downed. Adrian hates having a job, as he always lets out exasperated sighs at his guests, as he wishes he were somewhere else. He's the bottom of the barrel at al Jazeera, which is a shame, as most people there have talent. He's the sole reason I rarely watch their network anymore, as I have better things to do than watch a clown huff & puff.
That bit of what can we is really impotent
we want a change
IRELAND ONLY HAD 2 BOMBS IN 25 YEARS LEARM FROM US THROUGH LOVE YOU SHALL BE FREE
Albanese is an Iron Ladyā¦. She is just amazing, absolutely fearless and history will record her steadfast support of the truth . She will always have respect forever in history ā
This Lady Francesca Albanz from the United Nation deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, it is the law and she is right and true throughout her speech. It is pure reality and truth what these ladies say
