“Yet, Leila is not an anthropological journey but a survey of mythic and symbolic protest. Through her “eye” comes a search for political character in a Lebanon now permanently stained by the massacre of Sabra and Chatila.” – John Akomrah https://t.co/Nzqo2DCmV3

I just read the new Haaretz article about how Israeli planted pines are suddenly dying en masse and it is absolutely worth dissecting. Here are a summary & my observations as a Palestinian scholar who writes on green colonialism. 1/
Israel has now become the first state to codify a death sentence that applies in practice to one ethnic group, while another is effectively shielded from it.
Human Rights Watch documented Israel’s use of white phosphorus munitions over the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor on March 3, firing the incendiary weapon over residential areas and sparking fires in at least two homes.
Ahmad Baydoun, an open-source intelligence researcher at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, mapped 248 Israeli white phosphorus strikes across southern Lebanon, finding 39% hit civilian areas.
Lebanese authorities say Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,000 people since March 2 and forced more than 1 million people to flee from their homes — at least 16% of Lebanon's total population.
These are the pants of the child, #Jawad Abu Nasser — who was totured in Gaza by Israeli soldiers, a small piece of fabric that stands as powerful evidence of the crime.
They bear traces of his blood, reflecting the abuse he endured. A visible hole can also be seen, indicating the insertion of a sharp object, resembling a metal rod, into his foot, with a clear exit point through both the foot and the fabric.
The evidence does not end there; there are also marks that appear to be burns, likely caused by cigarettes being extinguished on them.
The pants of a child not yet a year and a half old… yet they tell a story that cannot be justified.
