It delves into the struggles of indigenous communities in their fight for social and climate justice and displays the interlinkages between them. We discussed the Palestinian crisis and its relation to Palestinian land rights and resource acquisition. Through Suha’s personal experience with the occupation, we identified that climate movements that deem colonization as a sensitive and neutral topic are greenwashing and are doomed to fail long-term. Suha also talked about the interlinkages between culture, tradition, and natural resources including the access to safe water, the prosecution against growing local crops, and the introduction of colonial agricultural practices. Questions: Give a quick overview of land and resource inequality in Palestine How are the social, economic, and environmental conditions of colonized Palestinian youth different from those in the Western World? Climate movements in Palestine: Do they call for the same justices as in Western countries? What is their focus? How can they be supported? How are suppressive actions against traditional socio-ecological practices in Palestine related to climate injustice?
