The pines were planted to conceal the remains of the villages that were destroyed during the Nakba, to conceal war crimes. Pine forests was a Zionist project that backfired. This short documentary explains why.
Highly flammable, not suited to the local climate but they are also very aggressive trees, in that they do not allow other trees to grow in their space. Perfect trees to displace Palestinians who rely on produce from the indigenous vegetation

@NotImpressed

Europeans trying to recreate the forests from home. Olive trees are alien to them and a constant reminder of the people whose land they’ve stolen.

Now that the fires are raging I guess pines are khamas 😂

Edit: damn it, should have gone with a “pining for Europe” joke 🤦‍♂️
