OccupyCOP27

Activists in Egypt & the diaspora speaking up against environmental ruin of neocolonialism

On the first day of #COP28 on 30 November 2023, the activist collective @OccupyCop27 sent a letter entitled “What does Gaza have to do with the Climate Crisis?” to different climate movements in Germany.

in sum: pumping seawater into G*za's tunnels would
ruin the soil, water&sewage systems, cause buildings&roads to collapse, while phosphorus bombs will turn rain into acid rain. Will climate activists silent about the g*nocide, take a stance against the destruction of the Earth?

Israeli military is preparing to flood G*za's tunnel system. "It's impossible to know if that will be effective because we don't know how seawater will drain in tunnels" said an unnamed person interviewed, but it will be devastating for the environment 1/4 https://t.co/4O6puV4rzE

An Isr*eli expert said they“hesitate about destroying a massive natural resource...and we have to think of the future — it would be politically and morally incorrect to have a thirsty neighbor” 3/4 https://t.co/7KKDaearD0.

"The IDF's flooding of Gaza by seawater under the pretext of targeting tunnels means eternal destruction of groundwater resources. This will make Gaza uninhabitable by the impossibility of agriculture for decades. Israel is committing crimes against humanity and the environment."

“On the ground, this war has destroyed every aspect of Gaza’s environment”
“As Gaza enters the rainy season, we expect the rain to fall as acid rain, contaminated with white phosphorus.” https://t.co/b1ywbA6XXN

"While Isr*el’s military has killed over 11,000 Palestinians in G*za, its government has announced the award to BP of a lucrative contract to explore for natural gas in the eastern Mediterranean." https://t.co/m01LoiqpMF

10\ We must demand an immediate ceasefire. But that is not enough. We must use every tool we have to #StopTheEthnicCleansing of G*za

[OccupyCOP27 @OccupyCop27]

While the US and EU have condemned Isr*el annexing the G*za Strip, Isr*el is creating “facts on the ground” that identify its clear intent of a population transfer, taking territory & offshore gas fields. In contradiction to their words their Western allies are enabling this 🧵

9\ Similarly gulf countries who had in the recent period stopped bailing out and investing in Egypt have shifted their tone since Isr*el’s war on G*za. With new investments from Saudi & the UAE
