Israeli Army Admits To Using Pesticides As A Weapon Of War In The Middle East
The Israeli army admitted to using crop-dusters to kill off vegetation – and perhaps inadvertently, agricultural crops – inside the Gaza Strip last week.
It wasn’t too long ago that Agent Orange, a devastating chemical produced by Monsanto, was used in the Vietnam War to strip the jungle environment of its foliage and give the U.S. military an advantage. At the time, the effects of the toxic herbicide weren’t well-known, but it’s now understood that the chemical causes unspeakable damage to humans, wildlife, and the environment.

Palestinian officials claim that over 420 acres of land were damaged by the spraying, which destroyed spinach, pea, parsley and bean crops.
