The Corporate Landlord Tied to Israeli Bombs and US Evictions w/ Thomas Birmingham | The Nation Podcast
Description
On one side of the world, a major corporate landlord is evicting tenants by jacking up rents by hundreds of dollars.
On the other, its parent company is linked to Israeli bombs, genocide, and illegal settlements.
This is the multibillion-dollar story of American Landmark — one of the country’s most eviction-happy landlords — and Elco, a corporate powerhouse whose subsidiaries are tied to the Israeli military and far-right settler movements. It’s even been cited by the UN for facilitating human rights violations.
Thomas Birmingham spent months meeting the families at the mercy of American Landmark, interrogating the corporate landlords profiting off them, and examining the connection between one kind of displacement here in America and another thousands of miles away, in the West Bank and Gaza.
His feature, "The Eviction Kings," is in the December issue of The Nation.
