It is not an equal threat, but how many of us have noticed the intensifying weather and natural disasters in our region? I certainly have, and I live in the US, which is not one of the most intensely affected regions. Plenty of people here have still died from this threat.<br><br>War and genocide is an enormous contributor to climate change. The truth of the matter is there is simply no way to carpet bomb an entire populace in an environmentally friendly way, no way to level entire cities without making a mockery of any care for our world.<br><br>This is what support for the Israeli military, for the US military, means, since this is the kind of widespread destruction they routinely engage in.<br><br>So while there are plenty of reasons to support Palestine even if someone doesn't care about the environment at all, a person cannot care about the environment and not support Palestine (or other indigenous struggles). The thing is, this assertion is not about indigenous people inherently being environmentalists, it's about the colonialism and imperialism against those people being inherently environmentally destructive.</span></p>
