As of 4 June 2025, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that 3,839 older persons (defined as men and women 60 years or older) had been killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.8 Whereas older persons comprise five per cent of the total populationividuals as of 4 June 2025.10 Importantly, fatality figures reported by the Palestinian Ministry of Health only include persons killed in conflict-related violence, such as airstrikes or by live fire. The number of older persons who have died of preventable deaths due to a lack of access to medical care, food and water is unknown, although studies predict that for every direct killing in Gaza there could be up to fifteen indirect deaths.

Bulldozer Politics: Introduction by Léopold Lambert

PLEASE TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW AND SEND YOUR LETTER TO THE UN OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ADVISER ON THE PREVENTION OF GENOCIDE AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT PROSECUTOR.

  2. Please note that this text was published in 2016, with a focus on the systematic use of the bulldozer by the Israeli state to destroy Palestinian homes since 1948. For this issue, the text has been slightly revised but the scale and the intensity of the genocidal violence against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank this past year, to which the bulldozer takes its full role (recent revelations about its most direct murderous function make this even clearer), would require an entire new chapter in the future, when the act of writing becomes possible again…

Greenwashing Provides Cover for Zionist Settler-Colonialism by Omar Zahzah

Please TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW and send your letter to the UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor.

Greenwashing gives ethical cover to colonial Zionist brutality. It also provides the rationale by which the JNF and various other pro-colonial Zionist organizations, foundations and non-profits enjoy charitable status. This charitable status allows the JNF to provide tax credits for donations, meaning that up to 25% of their budget comes from the public’s tax dollars.

SUPER UW condemns Jackson School’s speaker, Alon Tal on The Daily

Please TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW and send your letter to the UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor.

By advancing its discriminatory work within the JNF and GZA, Israel aims to divert attention away from their acts of genocide and war crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories under the guise of environmentalism and sustainability. Greenwashing is when ethnic cleansing is masqueraded as environmental action, and Israel has attempted to rebrand their war crimes through promoting their so-called “green” organizations at conferences around the world. The absence of Palestine past, present, and future in Alon Tal’s extensive work reveals clearly that his vision and Israel’s green policies are nothing but, what Jasbir Puar called, “Israel’s project of rehabilitation through the spatial, affective, and corporeal debilitation of Palestine.” It is imperative to understand that social justice remains a core of environmental justice, and that the framing of environmental issues can never be separated from indigenous struggles for land, resources, and decolonization.
