TOP ECONOMISTS IN PRAISE OF SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR FRANCESCA ALBANESE’S REPORT TO THE UNITED NATIONS: ‘FROM ECONOMY OF OCCUPATION TO ECONOMY OF GENOCIDE’
Yanis Varoufakis, Thomas Piketty, Nassim Taleb, Jayati Gosh, Michael Hudson, Giuseppe Mastruzzo, Jomo Kwame Sundaram, Robert H. Wade, Christopher Cramer and Nidhi Srinivas co-sign the open letter below supporting Albanese amid US calls to remove her as the UN special rapporteur on Palestine
History teaches us that economic interests have been key drivers and enablers of colonial enterprises and often of the genocides they perpetrated. The corporate sector has been intrinsic to colonialism since its inception, with corporations historically contributing to the violence against, the exploitation, and ultimately the dispossession, of Indigenous people and lands, a mode of domination known as racial colonial capitalism. Israel’s colonisation of the occupied Palestinian territories is no exception.
The recent report by Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, constitutes a major contribution to understanding the political economy of Israel’s Apartheid state, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and, now, their genocide. As such, we believe, it must be studied and debated widely and freely.
In view of the virulently hostile and indeed intimidating letter from the US government to the UN Secretary General demanding the dismissal of Ms Albanese and the quashing of her excellent report, we felt the need to express our strong support for Ms Albanese and to encourage the UN to dismiss the shrill demands of the US and Israeli governments.
Following a well-trodden path of genocide denial and of bullying anyone who challenges the right of the colonial power to dispossess Indigenous peoples, the US and Israeli governments, with most European governments too timid to take a stance, demand that the international community turn a blind eye to the ongoing genocide and, in particular, to the key role that multinational and national corporations are playing in maintaining the Apartheid regime and enabling the subsequent genocide.
As economists we feel the duty to highlight three key findings that Ms Albanese’s report unveils with clarity and precision.
[…]
In a few years, almost everyone will claim they opposed this genocide. But it is now that people of good conscience need to take a stand. As economists we stand, today, with Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur under attack by the US and Israeli governments because her recent report throws indescribably important light on the political economy of Israel’s occupation and genocide.

in reply to Yewa, das Freudenquietsch ☑️ • • •Das Bild zeigt eine malerische Landschaft mit steilen, felsigen Bergen im Hintergrund, die in einem klaren, blauen Himmel stehen. Die Berge sind mit spärlicher Vegetation bedeckt, die sich an den Felswänden festhält. Im Vordergrund sind einige Gebäude zu sehen, darunter eine Kirche mit einem hohen Turm, die sich in die Berge einfügt. Die Kirche und die umliegenden Häuser sind in warmen, pastellfarbenen Tönen gehalten, was sie harmonisch in die natürliche Umgebung einfügt. Die Vegetation um die Gebäude herum ist grün und dicht, was auf eine mediterrane Landschaft hinweist. Der Himmel ist wolkenlos, und die Sonne scheint hell, was die Farben der Landschaft noch intensiver erscheinen lässt.
