USA and Israel, partners in crime.

Palestines water.

From Shaddad Attili, PLO. (from the New Scientist 3 july 2004)

Your article correctly points out Israels new water strategy: retain control of the main aquifers of the Palestinian West Bank while getting the USA to provide desalinated water to the more than 2 million Palestinians living there (29 may, p6-new scientist). Israel's appropriation of the water resources of Palestine blatantly violates international law, including the law on belligerent occupation and customary international water law. The latter requires the equitable and reasonable allocation of shared (international) watercourses and the avoidance of significant harm to another party. Israel's determination to control and use the bulk of the available groundwater (and presumably also much of the flow of the river Jordan)can hardly be deemed "equitable and reasonable". Furthermore, the logic behind the desalination proposal is flawed. Rather than desalinating seawater and pumping it more than a kilometre in altitude to the Palestinians, would it not make more sense to allow Palestinians rights over their own water resources while letting Israel desalinate water for its coastal population? Desalination is certainly an option for both Israelis and Palestinians, but Palestinians should first be allowed access to their own water resources which currently are illegally and unjustly appropriated by Israel.

The sorry tale go's on and on. The USA should just be honest and say they have no respect for International law except where it serves to further their own capitalist interests or their masters, Israel.

Date: 7/9/2004 6:41:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 32806    Aye, and this is just one further example of how USA and Israel treat the Palestinians.  
Date: 7/9/2004 8:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 47218    yup, there are always two sides to every argument. The most far-sighted individuals will not assume they are always right, but will try to look at things from their opponent's perspective. too bad we can't say this about the U.S. right now.  
Date: 7/12/2004 6:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 34487    If you were referring to my comment...you are not only way off base but make no sense.  
Date: 7/13/2004 4:36:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 32806    Sense is only clear to those who can see it.  
Date: 7/14/2004 3:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 34487    I feel sorry for you and you should try to be more objective, open-minded and a whole lot less DEFENSIVE. You need a lot of practice though, good luck.  
Date: 7/17/2004 8:43:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 32806    LoL, when accusing, it reveals much about yourself.  
Date: 7/18/2004 8:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 34487    Accusing? Ummm...what ever, I guess you make it up as you go huh? I'm sorry that almost no one replied to your post but that gives you NO right to take it out on me. ONCE AGAIN, good luck with gaining a better disposition in life.  
Date: 7/20/2004 7:34:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 32806    Reply count is not the aim in posting information and knowledge so that people can see. I feel sorry for you if you think that is the case. The aim of posting knowledge is so that others can see, and 113 have seen, whether they have a comment or not.  
Date: 7/21/2004 11:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 34487    Well, not to be rude but if you're as defensive and rude to others as you've been to me with no reason to be so...people will avoid them. I know I will be from now on.  
Date: 8/5/2004 2:01:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 32806    LOL  
Date: 8/5/2004 4:38:00 AM  From Authorid: 24924    "The USA should just be honest and say they have no respect for International law except where it serves to further their own capitalist interests". There is much truth to that statement, Sagi, and there are many examples to be given. Problem is, pointing these out only brings on charges of one being anti-american or any other anti-(insert favorite word). Israel has HUGE, MEGA-RICH and powerful supporters in the United States, and people here do not cotton to ANY critique, criticism. or anything else of AMERICAN, and the same is for ISRAEL. Nope, we're perfect.....Israel is perfect, and the rest of the world's opinions mean diddley squat . (sarcasm)  
Date: 7/21/2005 6:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 53836    I see you are aimed at spreading the truth. I thank you. We need more like you on this site.
