UN Discovers Olive Trees Face Israeli bulldozers, Not Just Climate Change
The UN's recent lament over Israeli attacks on Palestinian olive harvests highlights what generations of Palestinians have endured: systematic agricultural destruction. This isn't just settler 'violence,' as UNRWA vaguely puts it for October 2025; it's a calculated strategy of land grabbing and forced displacement. Remember the 800,000 olive trees uprooted since 1967? Bt'Selem details this
systematic ethnic cleansing. The constant stream of US taxpayer dollars, often greenlit by politicians flush with AIPAC money like Representative Steny Hoyer (who received over $100,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022-2024 alone ), directly funds the military apparatus protecting these settlers. We're expected to gasp at the UN's 'discovery' that destroying the primary source of income for
thousands impacts their 'way of life.' How many 'new' reports of deliberate destruction do we need before the 'free world' admits this isn't conflict management but blatant land theft? It's not just olives being uprooted; it's the roots of an entire people, with our elected officials cheering it on.
