Greenwashing is a marketing spin that is used by countries and corporations deceptively promoting themselves as climate friendly to cover up the substantial climate harm that their policies and practices cause.

Greenwashing exacerbates the climate emergency as well as social and ecological injustices. Israel uses greenwashing to promote a climate-friendly image to cover up its decades-old regime of military occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid.

Aside from apartheid Israel's regime of violent ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Palestinians and destruction of lives and livelihoods, Israel has also systematically devastated the fauna and flora of historical Palestine.

The racist Jewish National Fund (JNF) greenwashes apartheid Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by taking over their land & planting it with invasive tree species.

A @GRAIN_org report shows that companies #LRGroup, #Mitrelli, #Tahal & Netafim, which are intrinsically linked to Israel’s apartheid, impose toxic models of agriculture that promote corruption, oppression, & farmers’ dispossession across the global south.

.@mekorot_il builds water networks in Israel's illegal settlements & manages water stolen from Palestinians. By refusing to construct water networks in 45 Bedouin villages, Mekorot is part of Israel’s “water apartheid”. #COP27 Image
Companies like @AXA and @PUMA play a key role in apartheid Israel’s greenwashing & destruction of Palestinian agriculture, dispossession, & land grabs.

Hypocrisy alert! AXA #FutureRisksReport mentions climate change as one of the main risks while AXA invests in Israeli banks financing apartheid, land-grabs and the destruction of the environment!

In September, @PUMA staged a “sustainability” conference in London as a green smokescreen to conceal its support for and profiting from illegal Israeli settlements–a war crime under international law.

Yesterday marked the 105th anniversary of the #BalfourDeclaration, a fateful, colonial statement by the British government that paved the way for establishing a Jewish supremacist settler-colony in Palestine. Image
The Balfour Declaration laid the foundation for the 1948 #Nakba, the #EthnicCleansing of between 750,000 and 1,000,000 Indigenous Palestinians at the hands of Zionist militias, and subsequently Israeli forces. Image
The ongoing Palestinian Nakba entails Israel’s relentless land theft, denial of human rights & legalized racial discrimination, made possible by massive military, economic & political support from the U.S., EU, U.K. & other complicit states, international orgs & corporations. Image

🧵 New report just out: “Farms, arms and Israel's agro-diplomacy” from @GRAIN_org pulls back the curtain on the destructive role of apartheid Israel’s agro-military complex around the world.

#GreenwashingApartheid

grain.org/e/6878
Rooted in Israel's colonization of Palestine and the dispossession of its Indigenous people, apartheid Israel’s agri-buisness has become a major tool for exporting exploitation and injustice around the world.

#GreenwashingApartheid
From India, to Angola, to Suriname the impact of apartheid Israel’s agro-military complex is devastating land grabs and debt.

The Palestinian-led global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian rights, and particularly its affiliate in France, @Campagnebds, warmly congratulate French author Annie Ernaux for winning the prestigious Nobel Prize for Literature 2022. Image
We join many in celebrating this distinguished recognition of Ernaux’s literary creativity and prowess also because of her principled commitment to fighting oppression globally, including her support for the nonviolent struggle for Palestinian freedom, justice and equality. Image
Ernaux’s courageous endorsement of impactful measures to hold accountable Israel’s apartheid regime and its complicit cultural institutions stands out.

End of August, at the start of the school year, Israel escalated systematic attacks to stop families from sending their children to school.

Apartheid Israel denies Palestinians the right to education to try to drive them out of the 8 villages.

#DefendMasaferYatta
4 schools in Masafer Yatta (Jinba, Khalet Athaba’, Khirbet Al-Fakhiet, Khirbet al-Majaz) received demolition orders last week and Umm Qassah School, which serves 50 students from 4 Bedouin villages, is under threat from demolition since last year.
As the school year started, Israeli occupation forces denied teachers & students access to their schools in Jinba and Al-Fakhiet & arrested a teacher confiscating his car that he needs to reach the school.

BREAKING:@Google worker organizing with #NoTechForApartheid resigns over punishment of Palestinian & allied workers who speak up for Palestinian freedom. Workers don't want their labor to enable Israeli violence against Palestinians, but Google is systematically silencing them.🧵
Along with 100s of other Google workers, Ariel Koren spent over a year organizing against @amazon & @Google’s $1B contract with Israeli government & military which helps them surveil Palestinians, expand illegal settlements, and inflict violence on Palestinians under occupation.
Google workers don’t want to be complicit in Israeli apartheid and human rights violations.

As @nytimes reports, one Palestinian worker said, “Project Nimbus makes me feel like I am making a living off my family’s oppression.”
