Israel’s brazen assault on southern Lebanon’s farmlands—drenching them with glyphosate, a herbicide the WHO deems “probably carcinogenic”—exposes the regime’s ruthless drive to devastate ecosystems and human lives. Under Netanyahu’s command, this aerial poisoning isn’t mere collateral damage; it’s a calculated act of ecocide, mirroring the scorched-earth tactics in Gaza and the West Bank. Lebanese officials report concentrations 20-30 times above normal, threatening soil fertility, water supplies, and food chains, while condemning farmers to ruined livelihoods and potential cancers.
Videos show Israeli aircraft blanketing fields, even after warnings to UN peacekeepers. This follows a year of horrors: white phosphorus incinerating olive groves, cluster bombs littering landscapes, and heavy metals poisoning the earth. Environmental experts decry it as cumulative destruction, rooted in colonial warfare aimed at making regions uninhabitable.
Netanyahu’s government, silent on inquiries, perpetuates crimes against humanity. The international community must demand accountability—investigations, sanctions, and trials at The Hague—to halt this environmental terrorism before it engulfs more innocents in agony and despair.
