Who Profits? US Corporations and the Whitewashing of Israel’s Genocide in Gaza

Annelle Sheline breaks down how numerous powerful US corporations have profited from Israel's military campaign in Gaza while actively helping to suppress international accountability for it. The piece centers on the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a body created by Israel and the United States in early 2025 with help from the Boston Consulting Group, which the author characterizes as a failed PR operation designed to obscure deliberate starvation policies, one that ultimately collapsed into scandal after a whistleblower reported IDF soldiers firing on crowds seeking food, with the UN tallying nearly 1,400 Palestinians killed at GHF aid sites by August 2025. The piece closes by noting growing but still limited divestment pressure, and argues that behind the reputational maneuvering lies a more durable strategic win for Israel: the systematic dismantling of UN humanitarian infrastructure in Gaza, clearing the way for a controlled reconstruction narrative on its own terms.
