‘Ecocide in Gaza’: does scale of environmental destruction amount to a war crime?

‘Ecocide in Gaza’: does scale of environmental destruction amount to a war crime?

Olive groves and farms have been reduced to packed earth …

Soil and groundwater have been contaminated by munitions and toxins

The sea is choked with sewage and waste

The air polluted by smoke and particulate matter.

Researchers and environmental organizations say the destruction will have enormous effects on Gaza’s ecosystems and biodiversity.

The scale and potential long-term impact of the damage have led to calls for it to be regarded as “ecoside” and investigated as a possible war crime.

But America’s munchkins can slaughter people while destroying the environment all they want. They’re defending “their democracy”

And yet not a word from Europe’s main Green Parties. Nothing. Like obedient boys and girls they are quiet about it all. A most disgraceful silence.
