Gaza had over 2 million olive trees until 2023.
About 150,000 remain.
Genocide is not only about killing. It also entails intentionally destroying the conditions of a people's existence and inflicting severe mental harm upon them.

Israel is still slowly but steadily torturing an accomplished doctor to death, right in front of the entire world.
A man who walked up to tanks and refused to abandon his patients.
We live in a time where the greatest cowards murder the greatest heroes.
Just returned from West Bank. It is the worse Israeli violence against Palestinians that I’ve seen in 31 years. Settlers acting with vicious impunity while the @IDF stands by or protects the settlers. This level of violence, total erasures of Palestinian communities can’t go on
It's quite scary that once Israelis decide they like a particular country as tourists, they start taking it over and treating its native residents as invaders.
On October 31st and November 1st 1948 IOF soldiers rounded up 90 men and boys and took them to a house in the village of Houla in southern Lebanon and shot them. Then house was then collapsed on them and they were only identified months later by their clothing.
In November 2024 the IOF entered Houla again and desecrated the memorial, daubing it with the words “the only good Shia is a dead Shia”. Now the village is inside the so-called “yellow zone” and has largely been destroyed.
This is what a genocide looks like.
Israel must immediately open all Gaza crossings and let humanitarian aid in, starting with new tents and modular housing, clean water, nutrient-rich food, medicines. If by 9am tomorrow Israel still refuses, any principled leader would send humanitarian vessels to break the siege.
