Ecocide and Green Colonialism

Episode 6RCM with Rev and Riot is back with another episode, this time joined by Dr. Ghada Sasa, Palestinian scholar and expert on green colonialism, whose groundbreaking work — including her article "Oppressive Pines" and PhD research — exposes how the Zionist settler-colonial entity weaponizes environmentalism to sustain apartheid, land theft, and genocide.Dr. Sasa dismantles Israel's greenwashing propaganda — "making the desert bloom" — which disguises systematic uprooting of Palestinian olive trees, theft of water resources, designation of "nature reserves" over ethnically cleansed villages, planting of invasive pines that render the land flammable and block refugee returns, and Judaization of Palestine under a fake eco-hero facade. She highlights Palestinian resistance through decolonial, justice-centered alternatives like A'wna, while the IOF continues bombing Gaza into an ecocide zone, destroying aquifers, and erasing life under the cover of "progress."Who are Reverse Canary Mission?Founded by TMTB in 2023 and headed by a community of diasporic Palestinians and allies, Reverse Canary Mission is a grassroots, volunteer-led database designed to counter the racist and dehumanising Canary Mission by holding Zionists accountable.We firmly believe that all of our struggles are intrinsically linked because if we're not all free, none of us are truly free. That's why our mission is to advocate for our Palestinian siblings, amplify marginalized voices, and encourage everyone to be allies in the fight for justice and dignity for all.
