Fossil fuel companies bankrolling the climate crisis
Funded: £1.2bn
gaza genocide
climate crisis
TotalEnergies is a French energy giant complicit in human rights abuses, relentless fossil fuel expansion, and decades of deceit. Like its peers, TotalEnergies knew about climate change as early as 1970 but chose to fund misinformation campaigns, deliberately delaying vital climate action. Now it hides behind greenwashing—falsely claiming a path to net zero while boosting fossil fuel production.
TotalEnergies’ East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project in Uganda and Tanzania has sparked outrage over human rights violations and environmental destruction. This 1,440km behemoth threatens to displace over 120,000 people, leaving communities devastated and livelihoods shattered. The Ugandan government, seemingly in lockstep with TotalEnergies, has ruthlessly silenced opposition, jailing peaceful protesters and crushing dissent. Families face intimidation and pressure to accept paltry compensation, their futures hanging in the balance.
Most chillingly, Total fuels Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Research reveals it supplies oil to Israel via Brazilian shipments and the BTC pipeline, profiting from bloodshed. The list of Total’s abuses culminates with its complicity in the Israeli genocide of Palestinians. Investigations by Oil Change International expose its direct complicity in Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians, supplying oil through Brazilian onshore fields it co-owns and the BTC pipeline, where it holds a stake. While Gaza burns, Total fuels the fire.

ENI Energy, the Italian oil and gas supermajor, operates across 60+ countries, leaving a trail of neocolonial exploitation and environmental devastation, particularly in Africa. Its record includes the discovery and continued extraction from Egypt’s massive offshore gas field, alongside the egregious launch of Africa’s first tar sands project in the ecologically vital Congo Basin, threatening invaluable biodiversity and the livelihoods of thousands. The company’s staggering negligence is laid bare by its Nigerian subsidiary’s 52 oil spills between 2021 and 2023, which ravaged local rivers and crops. Worse, ENI not only provided misleading information about the damages but also brazenly refused compensation or acknowledgment for the suffering inflicted on affected communities.
ENI’s complicity extends to the unfolding genocide in Gaza. Just weeks after Israel’s assault on Gaza escalated in late 2023, ENI secured a licence to explore gas fields off Israel’s coast—territory widely recognised as Palestinian maritime waters. Revenues from these projects directly bolster Israel’s military, fuelling its campaign of destruction.

palestine occupation
MAN Group is a German multinational company and a leading supplier of commercial vehicles and transport solutions in Europe. As reported by Who Profits, the company supplies the chassis for the car that carries the “Skunk”. This non-lethal crowd control weapon made by Odortec has been widely used by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and within the Green Line against Palestinians in demonstrations and as a punitive measure. It spreads a stench that attaches to bodies and objects for considerable periods.
MAN Group also supplies chassis for buses to Egged Group, an Israeli bus company that operates bus lines to settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Boeing is not only a global aerospace giant but also a pivotal enabler of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians. The company has supplied Israel with vast quantities of advanced weaponry, notably its Joint Direct Attack Munition kits, which convert unguided bombs into precision-guided munitions. These Boeing-manufactured weapons have been linked to numerous deadly attacks on densely populated civilian areas, in what Amnesty International and other human rights organisations have condemned as potential war crimes. Boeing’s Apache attack helicopters and F-15 fighter jets have also played a central role in Israeli military campaigns, further amplifying the scale and lethality of operations in Gaza.
Beyond its role in conventional warfare, Boeing is a key contractor in the U.S. nuclear weapons program, maintaining and supporting the guidance systems for Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are central to the U.S. nuclear arsenal. This dual role—supplying both conventional and nuclear arsenals—places Boeing at the heart of global military-industrial power, with its products implicated in both genocide and the ongoing threat of nuclear escalation.
Case study: Joint Direct Attack Munitions used on Palestinians
- Deir al-Balah, Gaza
- Owner: Boeing
On 10 and 22 October 2023, two Israeli air strikes—using Boeing-manufactured Joint Direct Attack Munitions —killed 43 civilians, including 19 children, in Deir al-Balah, Gaza. Amnesty International’s forensic analysis confirmed Boeing’s JDAM fragments and manufacturing codes in the rubble of destroyed homes, where survivors reported no prior warning. The attacks, lacking any apparent military objective, obliterated families and left survivors in shock.

GAZA GENOCIDE
Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest arms manufacturer, stands as a linchpin of global military-industrial power, supplying Israel with some of its most advanced and lethal weapons. The company’s AGM-114 Hellfire missiles have been deployed in Gaza, including a November 2023 strike near Shifa Hospital that killed journalists and other civilians.
Beyond its role in conventional warfare, Lockheed Martin is central to the global nuclear arms race. The company is responsible for the design, production, and modernisation of nuclear delivery systems, notably the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile, as well as subcontracting for the Sentinel modernisation programme and maintaining Trident II missiles for both the US and UK. Through these contracts, Lockheed Martin ensures the continued operation and lethality of nuclear arsenals that threaten global security.

controversial weapons
The Italian arms giant Leonardo supplies the deadly naval gun systems mounted on Israel’s Sa’ar-class warships, the brutal enforcers of Gaza’s illegal naval blockade. These warships, including the heavily armed Sa’ar 6 corvettes, form the backbone of Israel’s naval oppression, cutting off food, fuel, and medical supplies to Gaza’s besieged population. In October 2023, Leonardo’s weaponry saw its first bloody deployment as Sa’ar 6 ships bombarded Gaza, directly enabling Israel’s indiscriminate assault on Palestinian civilians. By arming these warships, Leonardo isn’t just complicit in collective punishment—it’s a key enabler of what legal experts say constitutes war crimes. While posing as a “defence” contractor, the company profits from the machinery of occupation, turning Gaza’s coastline into a militarised kill zone where Palestinian fishermen are shot at and humanitarian aid is blocked.
Leonardo has a 25% stake in the MBDA joint venture, which produces missiles for the French nuclear arsenal. MBDA is the prime contractor for ASMPA nuclear missiles for the French arsenal. MBDA is also involved in developing the new ASN4G replacement for the ASMPA. The new weapon is scheduled to enter service in 2035 with range exceeding 1,000km, double that of the ASMPA, and will incorporate new hypersonic technologies. Leonardo also provides the integrated electric propulsion components for the U.S. Navy’s Columbia-class submarine, for which it was awarded contracts valued at over $1 billion and $3 billion in April 2023 and January 2024 respectively

GAZA GENOCIDE
Rolls-Royce, the UK’s second-largest arms manufacturer, is deeply entwined with both Britain’s nuclear weapons programme and Israel’s machinery of war in Gaza. Through its German subsidiary MTU, Rolls-Royce supplies the engines powering Israel’s Merkava 4 and 5 tanks, Namer armoured personnel carriers, and Eitan armoured fighting vehicles—hardware extensively deployed during the 2023 ground invasion of Gaza, including in attacks on medical facilities such as Shifa Hospital. These engines are the most significant Merkava component made outside Israel, forming the backbone of armoured assaults that have killed thousands and devastated civilian infrastructure. Rolls-Royce also provides propulsion systems for 80% of the Israeli Navy’s patrol boats, which enforce the illegal and deadly blockade of Gaza.
On the nuclear front, Rolls-Royce holds contracts to supply reactor cores for the UK’s Trident missile submarines, directly supporting Britain’s weapons of mass destruction.

GAZA GENOCIDE
Airbus SE, headquartered in the Netherlands, is a multinational military and aerospace company that specializes in manufacturing commercial and military aircraft. Between 2008 and July 2024, the U.S. government awarded Airbus over $7.5 billion of contracts, the vast majority of which were held by the Departments of Defense (DHS) and Homeland Security (DHS).
U.S. immigration authority Customs and Border Protection (CBP) uses Airbus helicopters as part of its Air and Marine Operations (AMO) fleet. In 2023 alone, AMO’s enforcement resulted in 1,004 arrests and 89,909 apprehensions of immigrants. According to Airbus, it has provided aircraft for U.S. border enforcement operations since the 1980s.
CBP uses the Airbus AS350 Light Enforcement Helicopter (LEH) for “aerial patrol and surveillance of stationary or moving targets,” particularly in metropolitan areas. These helicopters are equipped with electro-optical (day) and infrared (night) sensors. Airbus has provided CBP with more than 100 helicopters from this series over the years, but started providing CBP with new and improved H125 helicopters, “uniquely configured” for the agency, in 2020. Airbus has described the new model as “one of the most advanced, high-tech law enforcement helicopters ever developed.”
CBP has also used the smaller Airbus EC120 helicopter as a “highly-effective aerial surveillance platform in the border desert areas where terrain can be difficult to traverse on foot.” CBP has frequently used this aircraft to assist ground agents in detecting traces left behind by people crossing the desert.
Airbus has collaborated extensively with Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI) and between 2008 and 2021 applied for a UK export license to sell weapons to Israel. IAI and Airbus also have historically collaborated in joint commercial ventures. In 2011, Airbus Military and IAI came together to sign a Memorandum of Understanding to develop and market the C295 platform (a combat aircraft with surveillance systems). In 2018, Airbus signed a $600million deal with IAI to lease Heron TP drones to Germany’s Defence Ministry. These are unmanned drones which have been used in Gaza since October 2023, and have been reportedly deployed by German forces in Afghanistan for ‘a number of years’.
Airbus Defence and Space Airborne Solutions, a 100% subsidiary of Airbus, also partners with IAI to operate maritime aerial surveillance services for the European Border Agency. These drones, previously tested in operations conducted by the Israeli armed forces, are used to intercept migrant vessels crossing the Mediterranean. According to Statewatch, the choice of these drones was determined by their “performance… in the maintenance of public order by the Israeli Defence Forces and police forces”, implicating them in the ongoing enforcement of Israel’s system of colonial occupation and apartheid. Airbus has thus not only profited from – and helped Israel to profit from – the sale of weapons tested on Palestinians, but the company has also enabled Israel to establish itself as a leading provider of defence and commercial technologies on the global stage.
