Anti-Israel activists used the COP26 climate change summit as a platform to falsely accuse the Jewish state of “Greenwashing” its alleged pollution of Palestinian-claimed territories.
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh spread lie after lie, while insisting that Israel poses “the most critical threat” to the environment. But an exclusive HonestReporting investigation revealed that Shtayyeh’s PA actively supports ecoterrorism in the West Bank. This year, “popular resistance units” from the Palestinian town of Beita burned over 80,000 tires, destroying swaths of land and posing a grave health risk to Arabs and Jews alike.
In the Gaza Strip, Hamas terrorists have consistently deployed incendiary balloons as weapons against Israel, causing widespread devastation to surrounding nature.
Meanwhile, Israel’s CO2 emissions account for a mere 0.16% of the total global output, and Jerusalem is still taking dramatic steps to reduce its carbon footprint. The same cannot be said about the Palestinian leadership.
Shtayyeh’s egregious claims were deemed unnewsworthy by most media outlets, even as another international forum was hijacked by those more interested in demonizing Israel than bettering the world.
