The Sierra Club, the preeminent conservation org, was set to lead a nature trip to Israel today with no mention of Palestinians. So a coalition of Palestinian, Indigenous, Black and Jewish partners demanded they cancel trips that would greenwash apartheid. Weeks later, they did! 
Israeli forces routinely expel Palestinians from their land and then cover the ruins with a park or preserve. This ethnic cleansing has dire impacts on the environment too: Israel has uprooted over 800,000 native olive trees – now only 11% of the trees on the land are indigenous.
We know the Zionist playbook all too well – so its no surprise that Sierra Club is being hit hard with backlash right now, with the classic players calling the decision antisemitic and demanding a public apology to Jewish people.
