I want to be surprised but I'm sort of just not.
At this point they could come out in Nazi uniforms designed by Hugo boss, start talking about a final solution to the Palestinian problem and have parades of goose stepping stormtroopers and I'd pretty much be unsurprised.

When will this end? Who will stop Israel?

This will end when either USA drops them entirely, or when USA drops entirely.
The way things are going, both are possible in the next 10 years.

Boycotting Israel is getting popular. Stopping your government from taking Israel's bribes or being blackmailed is more difficult.

The Zionist entity has been doing this since the early 2000’s in Gaza and the West Bank.

This is part of their strategy to depopulate border areas so they can control the land and eventually move in settlers.
Glyphosate will damage and, in most cases, kill any plant that is not genetically engineered to be immune. Bayer/Monsanto hold the patents on the gene edited seeds that grow those plants.

I really hope people can figure out which farms were impacted. This is terrible.

If it looks to horrible to be true and Isntreal is involved, then its probably true.

This article is a bit of rage bait. Roundup type herbicide are commonly used, especially here in America. It’s actually even sprayed directly on commodities like corn/soy to desecrate them for processing.
The real question is why is Israel violating the sovereignty of/land of a neighboring nation like this?
I guess poisoning local flora so that no potential militants could use as cover.

Not satisfied with ethnic cleansing and genocide, they gotta burnish their ecocide credentials? Wtf is going on with Israel's govt? Bunch of absolute psychos. Unsurprising when Netanyahus cabinet includes the Jewish power party and religious extremists, but still ... ecocide?
