How Israel created a water crisis for Palestinians | It's Complicated

Water is one of the most precious resources in Israel and the Palestinian territories. But there is a stark imbalance in how this resource is distributed. In the occupied West Bank, Israeli-owned farms are flourishing, while Palestinians often do not have enough water to drink. And in Gaza, Palestinians are facing deadly levels of water shortage. Josh Toussaint-Strauss examines how Israel took control of the region's water supply and created a deadly scarcity crisis for Palestinians.

It's not that complicated actually. What is complicated is that telling the truth brings acusations of antisemitism and no one seems able to tell Israel the truth and to make it face its responsabilities.

Honestly, the more I learn about the Israeli government the more disgusted I become.

[NN-ccdd]

Actually, oppression is not that complicated. It's abhorrent, but not complicated.

Doesnt 80% of israeli drinking water is desalinates from the mediterenian sea using advanced technology and not from the ground?

[gsirajahmed]

What Israel doing with Palestinians is not astonishing. What astonishing is people who never tired calling themselves civilised, have never spoken a word against this inhuman act.

This is the first time, I have seen a western media was able to stand on its spine to tell about Israel's crime against humanity.

[KarenRaver]

Imagine all the burn victims suffering with no water. Crimes against humanity, all of it

[garysantos]

This is the insanity America supports: "Unbelievable."

[mokomdane]

The racism of the state of Israel is too difficult to stomach. I say this as a Christian.

[sashmendis]

This is abhorrent how can US who proclaims itself to be the epitome of human rights do this and provide finances weapons and impunity to Israel!!!!

[zubayershajib]

Truth shall prevail because falsehood is by its nature bound to perish

[nataliemoss]

Spend more money on infrastructure and less on building tunnels and rockets 🚀

Thank you for showing the plight of Palestinians.

[johnnyv]

Its only "complicated" when what is blatantly happening does not align with your narrative. 🤷🏻

Remembering Rachel Corrie. We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.

What Israel is doing to Palestinian people is horrific and must be stopped. Palestinian people deserve to live.

Palestinians arent allowed to gather their own rainwater

Doesn't hamas turn your guys water pipes into bombs?

Nice to see the Guardian actually reporting on the reality of apartheid instead of smearing anti-apartheid Labour Party activists
