🌱Palestine and Ecological Destruction

A discussion with Mohammed Usrof, Sophia Wathne and Andreas Malm on the connections between the zionist/imperial genocide, the climate crisis and the ongoing resistance in Palestine.

This event brings together climate justice theorist Andreas Malm, PICS Executive Director Mohammed Usrof, and Sophia Wathne, PhD candidate at Scoula Normale Superiore focusing on food sovereignty, to dissect the material infrastructures of imperialism, climate apartheid, and settler-colonialism—specifically focusing on fossil fuels as both instruments of domination and targets of resistance. The session spotlights an emerging campaign to sever Colombian coal exports to Israel, exposing how resource flows sustain militarized apartheid. It will also chart a path of resistance that targets fossil capital, land theft, and climate apartheid at its root.

Context:
Israel’s war economy is deeply embedded in fossil fuel networks—not only through U.S.-supplied jet fuel but increasingly through Global South resource flows, including coal from Colombia, South Africa, Turkey, and Brazil. Despite public commitments to “clean energy,” coal imports from Colombia remain a vital lifeline for Israel’s electricity grid and industrial operations. These imports are extracted from violently dispossessed Afro-Colombian and Indigenous territories, under regimes of militarized repression, labor abuse, and environmental degradation.

This flow of coal connects two frontlines: the extractive zones of Latin America and the colonial occupation of Palestine. But the violence does not stop at fuel. In both Colombia and Gaza, settler regimes wage war on the basis of life itself—contaminating land, displacing farmers, and destroying food systems as deliberate strategies of domination.

This campaign—developed in alliance with Latin American organizers and led by Palestinian climate justice voices—demands an end to the fossil lifeline sustaining Israeli apartheid. It is not a symbolic boycott. It is part of a strategic Global Energy Embargo that confronts the material underpinnings of empire—from the coal pits of La Guajira to the bombed orchards of Gaza—by defending energy and food sovereignty as inseparable terrains of liberation.

🍛Dinner will be served after the event.
