A sickening viral video has sparked outrage across Israel after a Palestinian filmed himself dumping a massive payload of raw sewage straight into a local river as he bragged about it.
One outraged Israeli wrote, “Where is Greta [Thunberg]? Where are the tree-huggers here who won’t let us build and develop out of all their worries about the environment? And on top of that, we need to give them a ‘state’!” Another echoed, “The best way to understand who the land truly belongs to. A person does not pollute the land of his ancestors.”
The footage, which lit up social media, shows the operator of a liquid waste tanker draining filthy effluent directly into the waterway. “These are the deeds of ours that we take pride in and boast about,” the Palestinian proudly declared on camera as the sludge poured into the water.
While the river dumping raised immediate alarms over contaminated water supplies and habitat destruction, local farmers say it’s just the latest chapter in a Palestinian pattern of destruction targeting Israel’s agricultural heartland.
For years, growers in the Negev, Galilee, and the Jezreel Valley have complained of rampant agricultural terrorism. Local producers say Palestinians have targeted vulnerable farms with coordinated arson, fence-cutting, and equipment theft.
In one massive 2025 spree near Megiddo, Palestinians slashed dozens of kilometers of farm fencing, racking up an estimated $300,000 in damage. Elsewhere, dairy farmers and crop growers in Moshav Alma and Nahalal have suffered hundreds of thousands of shekels in losses after hay stores, wheat fields, and greenhouses were torched right before harvest.
Even livestock haven’t been spared. In the Binyamin region, Jewish farmers reported cruel poisoning attacks where laced dates, pita, and toxic liquids were scattered across grazing pastures and water troughs, sickening and killing dozens of cows, sheep, and goats.
The ecological fallout mirrors the devastating airborne attacks launched from the Gaza border during the border riots in 2018, when terrorists launched thousands of “terror kites” and helium balloons packed with Molotov cocktails and explosive devices across the border fence into southern Israel.
The airborne incendiaries ignited thousands of acres of nature reserves, forests, and farmland. Over 7,000 acres, including iconic sites like the Be’eri Forest and fields near kibbutzim like Nir Am and Nahal Oz, were burned, killing native wildlife, scorching soil, and causing millions of dollars in crop damage.
Years of rocket salvos from Gaza and Hezbollah strikes in the north have left fields pitted with craters, ruined irrigation lines, and littered farmland with unexploded bombs, forcing farmers to harvest crops under constant threat.
And where are the environmentalists with their usual protests now?
