Q: Did it really start on Oct 7?
A: Below is a list of laws and military orders, spanning decades, designed to suppress the Palestinian people. These policies target nearly every aspect of daily life with an intensity and focus that is unprecedented. The list is very, very long.

Just FYI for those that still doubt the ongoing genocide of the Palestine people.
For those wondering what ultimately led to Oct 7 uprising.
Now think.... if an illegal coloniser imposed this on you, what would you REALY do ?

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.
