Stories about “green carnage” often get lost among headlines that emphasize civilian and material losses during times of war. War’s violation of the environment, however, has far-reaching consequences on the lives and livelihoods of many communities and on these communities’ perceptions of invading governments. For many civilians living in agrarian communities, for example, trees are tended with immeasurable care and protection, across many generations, and their loss is cause for lamentation and outrage. “We want 5 troops dead for each tree they cut down,” a lament offered by a ten-year-old boy as he witnessed his family’s orange trees being bulldozed by American troops in Iraq, is a response to such a loss. This boy’s outrage, captured by the Iraqi blogger Riverbend, is a powerful illustration of the kinds of connections drawn between human and non-human world(s) by contemporary Arab women writers. I argue that these connections are a vital and often unrecognized feature of contemporary war diaries and “blogs” authored by Arab women. Using Ecocriticism as a framework, I provide a textual analysis Riverbend’s Baghdad Burning, Zeina El-Khalil’s “Beirut Update” (2006), and El-Haddad’s Gaza Mom: Palestine, Politics, Parenting, and Everything in Between (2010), highlighting the environment-centered sections that document and protest the violations committed against the environment in the name of security and the Global War on Terror. I demonstrate how these environment-centered diaries contribute to contemporary debates about the impact of war on the environment and how these narratives affirm an increasingly sophisticated environmental consciousness among civilians in war-torn countries such as Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine.
