Pollution and OccupationPosted on Jul 17, 2010
We all know the violent side of occupation, but what about the environmental? It may sound ridiculous, but Israeli settlements are dumping untreated waste into a canal that runs into the West Bank while the Israeli government is banning attempts by Palestinians to divert or treat that waste. —JCL Al Jazeera English:

This is appalling.
If Israel has any social conscience as an ascensioned state they would clean up their mess or allow the Palestinians to do it.
Maybe they enjoy the smell of their own feces.

Adolph Hitler is apparently on-record as admiring and proudly emulating the U.S. “solution” to its “Indian problem,” which is to say mass murder coupled with brutal confinement intended to result in extinction by the attrition of “police-action,” poverty, and disease. Israeli “policy” toward Palestinians looks to be a carbon copy of that American/Nazi plan, including as noted by a commentor below the dumping of toxic waste into the isolated marginal areas allowed for surviving Indigenous Peoples to get-by as best they can.
All three of these artificial ethno-religio-political “entities” boast loudly of their unique and special “role” in rendering the world safe for their own kind. All three have shown a ruthless willingness to stop at no atrocity in-pursuit of their insane aims. All three brag about being at the very apex of what they hail as “human development,” which is to say “civilization.” What’s more, they are!
All three suffer (The Nazis are in-fact still rabidly active in the U.S., “South America,” and philosophically and behaviorally at-least, as this story exemplifies, in Israel.) from the Earth-destroying “civilization” disease at its most virulent. It only remains to be seen now how deep the grave they’re digging for their selves gets, before its deep enough to bury them all for-good.
Meantime, Native Peoples of all Kinds everywhere must continue to endure this latest genocidal assault, by the congenitally insane, as best they can. Our Mother Earth is already nearing the most intense phase of Her purification cycle, and will of-necessity cleanse Herownself of all that is ‘alien’ and inimical to Her Natural Living Arrangement.
Those among our domesticated Human relatives who can overcome the terrible obstacle of their induced “individual”-ity, and see through the false-idol “-ism” named-after it, might yet get together in our given organic form of genuine Living Community (as English-speakers would call it), and be part of The Medicine instead of carriers-of the disease. They’ll sure be welcome here in Indian country (as the U.S. military still designates everyplace where the designs of its employers are resisted by Natives), whatever the local “Indians” call their Native Country.
It is the Natural Law, not those “toxic mimics” devised by homo domesticus, that governs “crimes” against Nature. That Law is entirely self-enforcing, too, so no made-up institutional set-ups are necessary to see that would-be “violators” reap the rewards of their folly. Not even the self-chosen Israelites are immune.

Isn’t biological and chemical warfare/terrorism considered crimes against humanity? Before the AIPAC or Anti-Defamation or whoever crowd start with their paranoid nonsense this question is posed as a point of clarification and not in any way suggestive of a desire to “destroy the Jewish state” or anti-semitic tilt. All I want to know is has a crime been comitted here, by whom, and under who’s auspices or supervisory responsibility? If indeed a serious transgression has occurred how is it to be remediated and when can this be expected to be completed, including providing medical care for affected civilians and reparations made by the offending party(s)?

This is no different that what the European illegals did to the indigenous people of America when they invaded and stole this country from its prior owners. So much for the U.S. being founded on Christian principals and values, which proves that Christian values are no values at all, and it seems as if Israel has taken the same lesson from the American version of Playbook.
Even after poisoning the land and water, our corrupt government finally was allowing the Native people to buy back their stolen land, but they had to pay for all the clean-up of the uranium poisoning and other pollution done by big mega corps.
No doubt somewhere down the road Israel will allow the Palestinians to purchase their land back with all the same regulations about cleaning up their mess first. Been there, seen that, done that in Israels sister country America.
Sure you can trust the governments. Just ask any Indian.

The only ridiculous thing about environmental terrorism is that we don’t recognize it in our own country.
Are the toxic waste dumps, polluted water, and defaced mountains more prevalent in wealthy/white areas or in poor/brown areas?
