BlackRock & Wall Street banks are profiting from Israel's crimes in Gaza, UN experts say
==========
Top UN human rights experts have called on Western weapons corporations to stop sending arms to Israel, arguing they could be complicit in war crimes. Asset managers like BlackRock and Wall Street banks are also profiting. The United States sent Israel $3.8 billion in military aid every year before the Gaza war broke out in October 2023. Big banks on Wall Street have helped Israel to fund its war on Gaza. In March, BNP Paribas, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman Sachs underwrote $8 billion in bonds for Israel. BlackRock, the world's largest investment company, with $10.5 trillion in assets under management, has operated in Israel since 2016 and strongly encourages investments there. Activists have accused BlackRock of profiting from Israel's crimes. The UN experts also named other arms manufacturers and financial companies that have invested in the arms industry.
