Israel’s miltary annihilation of Gaza and the Palestinian population has been described as the world’s first live-streamed genocide. While the horrific loss of human life and catastrophic humanitarian conditions imposed on Palestinian people have dominated mainstream media output, other crises are also unfolding. This week’s episode of Earth Matters explores the ongoing destruction of Palestinian land and waters through war, colonisation and climate change, and the role of the Palestinian environmental movement in the worldwide struggle for justice for colonised peoples.Guest: Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh is the Founder, and (volunteer) Director of the Palestine Museum of Natural History and Palestine Institute of Biodiversity and Sustainability at Bethlehem University in Occupied Palestine. He is a 2025 Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
