There's that myth about how Israelis "turned the deserts green" which has been righteously dispelled (Palestinians have always farmed, Israelis tear up their olive trees). But it becomes even more ironic when looking at pictures of Palestine and reflecting on all of the time and energy that went into building all of these walls and fortresses everywhere. It's like anti-infrastructure that makes it harder to live and get around. They are making the country worse.

Gaza is too small to use white phosphorus weapons and not have them effect the births at Israeli hospitals. These Israeli nationalists are too fucking short sighted to survive.
The US used these weapons in the war in Iraq, and now they have cancer-causing dust storms.

Childhood cancer had increased 12-fold, while leukemia rates had increased 38-fold."
It's horrific to use weapons like this against Gaza.
