" Israel and the Palestinian territories are suffering a fifth year of drought. Water shortages are especially acute in the West Bank, where an aquifer shared by Israelis and Palestinians is being depleted. The World Bank recently reported Israelis are receiving four times as much water per capita than West Bank Palestinians "
For the middle east in the
next generation water rights
could become even more
important than land rights.
When there is not enough water
for everyone then there must be
an agreement to share what there
is

How do Israeli's justify stealing the water belonging to the Palestinian's and then giving them none or greatly reduced amounts. Israeli is the thief! The West Bank and its water belongs 100% to the Palestinians and it's time the Israeli criminal squatters cleared out and get back to their own country.
