Abstract
One hundred and seventeen days into Israel's war on Gaza, the country's minister of interior, rightwing settler Itamar Ben Gvir, delivered a speech over the podium of Israel's Knesset. The main theme of this speech was the goat. This was dubbed by the media as the Goat Speech. While the media focused on the goat as a figure of speech, my essay will reflect on the real properties of goats and on the role that they have played in the political making of the natural landscape of Palestine–Israel. The essay will conclude with the realization that the ecofascist dream is not only of a Jewish ethnostate but of a green one, too.
