Greenpeace Rainbow Warrior climate change Israel

It’s not just Morrissey and Paul McCartney who are on tour in Israel this summer, but Greenpeace’s legendary Rainbow Warrior ship is also paying the country a visit this weekend.

As part of its latest tour of the Mediterranean Sea, the well-travelled vessel (the original was sunk in 1985 protesting against nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific) is due to dock at Haifa Bay this Saturday (6 September, 12pm) to spread its message: CLEAN ENERGY, NOT COAL!.

Apart from an opportunity to board the ship, meet its crew and learn about climate change, Rainbow Warrior’s visit will help remind Israelis about plans to build a new coal power station further along the coast at Ashkelon. In May, Greenpeace activists abseiled from the roof of the Infrastructure Ministry in Jerusalem wielding a clear message for Infrastructure Minister Binyamin [Fuad] Ben-Eliezer: “Fuad will kill Ashkelon in one week. COAL KILLS!”

Born into a family of auto mechanics and engineers in east London’s urban sprawl, Michael bucked the trend and chose a bicycle instead of a car. A relative newcomer to Jerusalem, he works as a freelance journalist writing for the Jerusalem Post and other publications. Before moving to Israel, he worked for an environmental NGO in England where he developed a healthy obsession with organic vegetables and an aversion to pesticides and GMOs. Michael’s surname is pure coincidence. Michael can be reached at michael (at) greenprophet (dot) com.
