STOP THE PALESTINIAN ARAB CRIMES AGAINST NATURE AND WILDLIFE: VICTOR SHARPE
I appeal to all who cherish nature and the protection of wildlife wherever it is.
That is why I must alert the world to the horrific and deliberate destruction by Palestinian Hamas of forests, nature reserves, bee hives, wheat fields, avocado groves and innocent wildlife in southern Israel adjacent to the Gaza Strip.
Gaza is suffering under Hamas occupation, which is the Palestinian junior branch of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood. Israel withdrew fully from Gaza in 2005 hoping that the Palestinian Arabs would live in peace. It was not to be.
Hamas has employed fire kites and helium filled balloons, which fly into Israel and explode creating raging firestorms in the fields, meadows, forests and nature reserves. It is a searing tragedy witnessing verdant forests lovingly planted so long ago in what was desert and wasteland now turned into blackened stumps. Once clean and fresh air is now filled with choking ash.
Wildlife, including deer, turtles and birds, have suffered in the most torturous way, burned alive in the terrible fires that have blackened and ruined over 8,500 acres of land in southern Israel. The costs are in the billions and the hapless farmers are trying desperately to bring in whatever produce they can salvage.
Here are pictures. The destruction is monstrous.
But where is the outrage from all the world’s environmental groups and from Peta? Their silence is deafening and reeks of hypocrisy and stark indifference to the destruction of wildlife and restored agriculture that generations of Israeli pioneers, farmers and ecologists have painstakingly redeemed from the desert and wilderness.
The embattled Israeli villagers and farmers are plagued now by the foul smell of burning vegetation and woodland with the commensurate polluted air quality which is hospitalizing many with asthmatic and respiratory health issues including bronchitis and pneumonia.
Thousands of missiles and mortars have rained down upon southern Israel from Gaza since Israel withdrew fully from the Gaza Strip in 2005.
Now Hamas thugs sank to a new low by tyingincendiary material to a falcon and sending it towards Israel, thus marking a new evil in the terror group’s arson against Israel’s south.
Gilad Gabai, a National Parks Authority ranger, discovered the bird on Monday with the flammable material tied to the hapless bird’s tail. The bird was dead after being burnt alive in the fire it had ignited.
Gabai told IDF Radio on Tuesday that “animals are already being burned as a result of the fire kite and balloon terrorism. Now we see that they [Hamas] have moved on to using animals as a weapon. This is very distressing. Apparently it’s not enough to destroy nature with kites, now birds are being used for arson and terror as well.”
The use of innocent and abused animals is not new to Palestinian terrorism. Donkeys with bombs strapped to them have been used by the terrorist Palestinian organizations to kill and maim human victims. In Islam, dogs are considered unclean.
Hamas’ burning kites and balloons launched over the border fence have ignited over 1,000 fires in southern Israel adjacent to the Strip in the past three months, laying waste to more than 8,500 acres of forest, agricultural land and several nature reserves, with damage totaling tens of millions of dollars.
The Gaza-based arson terrorists ignited 24 fires in Israel’s south last Monday alone.
I do so earnestly hope that you, dear readers, can help condemn this Palestinian crime by forwarding this information far and wide – facts that the mainstream news hardly mentions at all.
By publicly exposing this inhumane vandalism, perpetrated upon nature itself by Palestinian Hamas and Islamic Jihad, there will hopefully be an outcry that will shame even Hamas and put an end to this monstrous Palestinian crime.
Please also help expose the silence of organizations devoted to protecting the environment and wildlife, yet who remain mysteriously mute in the face of this Palestinian destruction of innocent wildlife.
Thank you.
Victor Sharpe
