(not My Gifs)

I'm reading about how Israel, in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 Nakba, deliberately replaced olive trees and other indigenous flora with European plants. This ecological disaster, which is now proudly hailed under the banner of 'making the desert bloom,' was done to 'de-Arabize' the landscape, and to cover up - often with fast-growing European pine trees -the ruins of Palestinian villages that were destroyed by Zionists forces.

And I just need everyone to read this passage from Pappé, because the symbolism of what happened to those European pine trees in the desert speaks for itself:

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006, p. 227-228.)

i need everyone's best explanation for why no one cares abt jorge martin (sorry to jorge for the unnecessary cruelty of my phrasing but i cannot think of a better way to say it)

you’re all going to be okay. let yourselves breathe. take a moment to relax in this quiet place

play some games to distract yourself here

play dress up games here

have a manatee tell you nice things here

you can guide a little creature to eat things here

you can play as a bunny...
