Israel Committed Mass Ecocide in Lebanon

The Lebanese government has accused Israel of committing mass ecocide over the past several years: "The scale and intentionality of the damage to forests, agricultural lands, marine ecosystems, water resources, and atmospheric quality constitute what must be recognised as an act of ecocide, with consequences that extend far beyond immediate destruction. The environmental damage we face is not simply ecological -- it is a matter of public health, food security, livelihoods, social fabric, and national resilience."

Scorched Earth Policies Like in Gaza

FTA: The Israeli Defense Forces have:

Damaged 5,000 hectares (12,350 acres) of forest cover, including broadleaf, pine and stone pine stands, destroying habitats, disregulating local climates and causing soil erosion.

Destroyed $118m (87m) of physical agriculture assets, including crops, livestock facilities, forestry resources, fisheries and aquaculture infrastructure.

Caused further losses of $586m (433m) in lost agricultural production as a result of disrupted harvests and reduced yields.

Destroyed 2,154 hectares (5,320 acres) of orchards, including 814 hectares of olive groves and 637 hectares of citrus plantations, and caused extensive damage to banana plantations.

Contaminated soils with phosphorus concentrations up to 1,858 parts a million, with particular contamination hotspots in south Lebanon and Bekaa valley in the east.

Caused widespread air pollution episodes extending well beyond immediate strike zones and releasing particulates; sulphur and nitrogen oxides; and toxic compounds such as dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

For years, the peace-loving, hardworking American taxpayer has been subsidizing environmental terrorism against the natural resources of Lebanon.

**** Israel Orders New Evacuations in Southern Lebanon ***

IDF soldiers have been looting homes in southern Lebanon without punishment and the ceasefire is doing little to stop the killing. The Lebanese Health Ministry has raised the death toll since the start of the Israeli invasion to 2,534 killed and 7,863 others wounded.

"To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace."

In Deuteronomy there's a bit where warring Israelites are enjoined from destroying fruit-bearing trees. "Are the trees of the field human, that they should be besieged by you?"

That was then, this is now, better check with MAGAJesus.

Salting the earth? This time-honored religious sacrament is merely how we Hebrew People honor our Judaic Old Testament traditions.

The other irony is that Iranian ayatollahs issued fatwas against using chemical, nuclear, or biological weapons because such deployment of WMDS would despoil nature.

Meanwhile, the IDF ruined southern Lebanon and caused an environmental catastrophe over the skies of Tehran by destroying Iran's oil facilities. And Benjamin Netanyahu laughed ahead of the cataclysm, warning the Iranians that a "surprise" was coming. The IDF calculated the wind and pressure zones so after their attack the toxic smoke would black out Tehran.

Iran is Maligned IMO.

The Fatwa's of Ayatollah Khamenei were of a Humanistic and Ecological Concern for Life.

What Great Truths does Western Materialism stand for?

"Shareholder Value"? The "Rights"of Capital?

Cash is not just King...It's EVERYTHING.

Life itself is in Service to "Wealth".

Everything is Measured by its "Value" in Money Alone.

That's why I Know the World will Die.

Or Capitalism Will......

*** IDF Double-Tap Strikes Kills Three Lebanese Paramedics ***

"Two successive Israeli air strikes on a building in southern Lebanon killed nine people, including three emergency workers in what the country's prime minister described as a 'war crime.'

"At least 16 people were killed in the past 24 hours in various Israeli strikes, including a Lebanese soldier and a family of five."
