Take a look at record of top capitalist invited to TO summit

Mark Carney is set to host Davos on Lake Ontario and the genocide promoting “mayor of Davos” will be front and centre in Toronto.

On September 14-15 the prime minister is hosting 100 of the world’s wealthiest bankers and investment managers in downtown Toronto. A leading participant is BlackRock CEO Larry Fink. The advocate of Israeli crimes oversees a 14 trillion-dollar asset management firm heavily invested in the apartheid state and companies arming its genocide.

The world’s largest asset management firm has been operating in Israel for a decade. In 2016 BlackRock President Rob Capito met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem to discuss legislative changes to allow the firm to expand its operations to the apartheid state. BlackRock operates an Israeli office and has stakes in many of its companies.

Through its US Aerospace and Defense ETF BlackRock is among the largest investors in arms manufacturers. As such, it has large stakes in arms companies making weapons Israel has used to kill Palestinians. According to a 2025 report on corporations aiding Israel’s criminality released by the United Nations special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, BlackRock is the second largest institutional investor in Palantir and the third largest in Lockheed Martin.

Fink is an aggressive proponent of Israeli crimes. After October 7, 2023, Fink told FOX Business “the world needs to get back its moral compass” by backing Israeli crimes in Gaza and said he was “standing up against bigotry and hatred.” In response to a question about students signing a public letter critical of Israel, Fink said BlackRock does background checks on prospective employees for their past public statements. In another interview he applauded the post October 7 deployment of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to defend Israel and threaten Iran as “a spectacular statement by the United States.” More recently, Fink has repeatedly defended US/Israeli aggression against Iran.

Fink serves as a member of the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Council on Foreign Relations, which has been described as “the world’s most powerful private organization.” Author of Wall Street’s Think Tank: The Council on Foreign Relations and the Empire of Neoliberal Geopolitics, 1976-2014, Laurence H. Shoup details the organization’s role in bringing top government officials, media figures and corporate titans together. Shoup writes, “The CFR is the world’s most powerful private organization. It is the ultimate networking, socializing, strategic planning, consensus-forming, and foreign policy lobbying institution of the dominant sector of the U.S. capitalist class.”

In the 2024 Monthly Review article “The Council on Foreign Relations, the Israel Lobby, and the War on Gaza” Shoup details the council’s extensive ties to Zionism. He argues it’s an (underappreciated) pillar of the Israel lobby in the US.

Fink is currently co-chief of the World Economic Forum. At the start of the year the New York Times dubbed him “the new mayor of Davos.”

Carney is hosting an upcoming summit of the people who’ve propelled the financialization of the economy, spurring extreme inequality and ecological collapse. They’ve almost all profited off the genocide in Gaza and in some cases strongly promoted Israeli crimes. Fink sits up near the top of a pyramid dedicated to capitalist entitlement built by the labour of billions.

If anyone deserves to be cursed it is him. Fuck Larry Fink.
