In the media, the war in Gaza is primarily viewed in terms of fatalities and destruction (economic damage). Politicians take one side or the other and focus either on Israel's security and the rescue of the remaining hostages or on Palestinian freedom and lament the deaths of over 1% of the population. Rarely do some studies examine the impact of the war on the environment in Gaza and the region, as well as on the climate in the Middle East and beyond. In short, an ecosystem whose destruction primarily and directly affects the survival of the people in Gaza does not leave that of Israelis and other neighbors untouched and ultimately affects the earth and all earth citizens with CO2 emissions and other pollutant particles carried away by the wind.
A great article and so helpful. It’s terrifying to see these consequences spelled out so clearly. Thank you. More people need to see this information. Obviously, the MSM aren’t going to be talking about this. I was particularly disappointed by the fact that military contributions aren’t counted in the country totals. Not really surprising, but still so disappointing and frustrating. Not that it would make any difference. We (US) are perfectly comfortable with breaking international law and treaties. Again, thank you for this excellent article. CODEPINK lands another one!
Wow. Thank you. A lot of info! The us sabotage of Nord Stream was an aggressive act of ecoterrorism, and made no geopolitical sense. When Kissinger and Code pink agree on something, then we know something is really outta whack
