Read now to understand how ecocide is a tool of genocide and why environmental justice must include Palestinian liberation.

Zionist Lies and Crimes

Following a genocidal invasion of the Gaza Strip, the Zionist occupation forces exhibited a recurring pattern of violence, targeting hospitals and killing Palestinians with intuitive precision. This well-documented pattern has become almost a muscle memory for the reoccurring Zionist violence. The bombing of Al Ahli Baptist Hospital was one of the first attacks in this sequence of terror and destruction regarding Hospitals in the Gaza Strip.

The Naksa of 1967

The 1967 Naksa, or “setback,” was an attempt by the settler colony of “Israel” to brutally finish the job of the 1948 Nakba. We call it “setback” as it was instrumental in “Israel’s” violent land grab of what was left of historical Palestine including the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the additional territory of the Golan Heights in Syria and Sinai in Egypt, resulting in “Israel” tripling in size (27,000 sq km).
