I'm not a commie or some hippie environmentalist, but there is something wrong with an economic system that encourages the destruction of over 50,000 sq. miles of Indonesian rainforest to produce palm oil. That's an area the size of Pennsylvania, the only habitat for endangered orangutans, being destroyed so we can produce billions of Oreo cookies and millions of jars of Nutella.

I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.

Iran's unique ecosystems,from the Caspian forests to the Gulf's coral reefs,are on the brink. Bombing oil fields, refineries, and industrial complexes would trigger toxic dust storms, oil-soaked waterways, and agricultural dead zones. The soil won't grow food for 20+ years.

While we were trapped in northern Gaza and the bombardment intensified, I decided to move to the south to escape death. There was an Israeli army checkpoint. When my wife, my children, and I crossed, an Israeli soldier shouted at me, telling me to lower my head to the ground. He ordered me loudly to say that Palestine does not exist and to say that I am a rat. Sadly, I said it — I even said I was a rat. Not because I was afraid for myself, but because I was afraid they might kill my children in front of me, or kill me and leave my children alone after me. I remembered this moment now, and today I say it openly: Palestine is our land, and you occupied it. One day it will be free. I am not a rat — and you know that. You were standing with your weapon in front of my children, while I had nothing but the clothes I was wearing. I am not a rat, and Palestine is my homeland...

@vanranstmarc Problem is he's got 82,5k likes on that comment alone. What's wrong with people?.. 😵‍💫

A forest that took centuries to build, destroyed in days. For profit. This isn't development. It's the liquidation of our planet's natural capital. #Ecocide #Deforestation

Good morning! Wishing everyone a lovely day ☀️
