An amazing piece of truth in Haaretz this morning: the European pine trees Ashkenazi settlers planted over the ruins of Palestine's villages are dying en masse throughout occupied Palestine, 'and no one knows exactly why'.

But it is obvious why: they are not native, and they were used as weapons of war and ethnic cleansing.

The very soil rejects repugnant Zionism. The land itself, no less.

This could be the most ominous signal Zionists have ever received. And they have received plenty. It feels like a divine warning.
