Lebanon’s Ministry of Environment formally accused the Israeli military of “an act of ecocide” in April 2026, reporting $25 billion in damages, including the destruction of thousands of hectares of forest and extreme soil contamination that “reshaped both the physical and ecological landscape” of the Lebanese south.

Making it so that an entire region can no longer plant local crops, and causing sudden large scale changes to local biodiversity, is bad.

On top of that:

Decades-old study on common weed killer retracted after journal editor says Monsanto may have helped write it

The 25-year-old study said the main ingredient in Roundup — the herbicide glyphosate — is safe for humans.

“It’s really a foundational paper against which a lot of regulatory agencies made decisions about whether or not glyphosate was safe.”

In industrial agriculture, glyphosate (Monsanto’s Roundup) is used on “Roundup-Ready” monocultures that are genetically modified to tolerate it. It’s a very specific and supposed to be heavily monitored and carefully controlled process.

That use on its own is controversial for a bunch of reasons, but the idea of using roundup as warfare outside a roundup ready monoculture is a whole other thing. This isn’t about spraying resistant GMOs of a monoculture, it’s about destroying all plants in an area. It’s actually a really fucked up and evil thing to do.
