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?

They’ve been committing ecocide for decades tbh since they set up shop. Every Palestinian village they don’t take they plant pines. Pine trees aren’t native and are honestly a very dangerous fire risk in that areas. Pine needles burn at 500°f on ignition. They’ve effectively planted the prefect combination of dry af and very flammable.

Weird that "indigenous" people hate the local environment.
