Palestine, Ecological Nuisance

Environmental protection is not merely a civil concern—it is a matter of security. In this explosive exposé, Raphaël Jerusalmy lays bare how the Palestinian Authority’s systematic mismanagement of waste and natural resources amounts to a form of ecological terrorism.

From the unchecked dumping of raw sewage into the Jordan Valley, to sprawling illegal landfills near delicate aquifers, the damage is both immediate and long-term. Nations that signed the Oslo Accords pledged to uphold environmental standards; instead, vast swathes of farmland and residential areas have been contaminated.

Worse still, the deliberate burning of tires and electronic refuse releases carcinogenic toxins into the air, threatening neighboring communities in both the West Bank and Israel. Years of neglect have transformed once-fertile valleys into blighted zones, forcing local populations to seek costly treatment for respiratory and water-borne diseases.

Jerusalmy calls on international bodies to enforce strict environmental oversight as part of any future agreements. Without accountability, this slow-motion assault on Mother Nature will escalate—eroding not only ecosystems, but the fragile foundations of peace itself.
