Mohamed, David & Mehdi: Thank you for the reminder that: U.S. wars of choice, including but not limited to Vietnam, Iraq,

Afghanistan and more recently, in occupied Palestine and vicinity, have inordinately contributed to the climate crisis. The current L.A. fires might be seen as collective blowback, payback, or karma. Some say: When we hurt others, we hurt ourselves; that is, it’ll come back to haunt us. It’s my understanding that Indigenous people in the U.S. (victims of one of our first war crimes, or crimes against humanity, genocide; met with impunity) also believe that when we harm/damage Nature we hurt ourselves. These concepts, or moral principles seem foreign to American exceptionalism, White supremacy, settler colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, consumerism, Earth plunder and/or its ecocidal ethos. We’re unable to change the past, but need to learn from it. One of ZETEO’s and our own personal priority ought to be stopping the flow of arms to apartheid Israel and recognizing its Zionist quest as fascist. Part of this effort should be demanding that Biden resign; the most recent genocidal “war” in Palestine and its vicinity occurred under the Biden/Harris watch, was not a coincidence; he’s an admitted Zionist. If he refuses to resign, we (ZETEO, et al.) ought to demand his immediate impeachment. The arms embargo should start now. It’s disingenuous to lament the L.A. fires and other extreme weather events while not holding warmongers accountable for their war crimes. Thanks again for your thoughtful comment. Please send an email to: Pres. Biden & VP Harris at WhiteHouse.gov; call your Congress people (202)224-3121. Pls, urge others to do the same. Palestinian genocide is Biden’s Watergate, except many times more egregious. The crime of genocide and other war crimes, are being normalized; one of the many tools in the fascist toolbox.
