Gideon Levy cannot contain his contempt for those who have just cemented in three water wells near the Fawwar refugee camp in the South Hebron hills.
He calls it “the work of the devil” and we would be hard-pressed to dissent.
“Arab-hatred, apartheid, brutality and evil” he writes, “now cover the spring and groundwater and the false love for the Land of Israel.
If not the most horrific crime of the occupation, he asserts, it is one of the ugliest.
We agree.

We even destroy their water wells

To my disgust and horror at these events some of which I have personally witnesedI add shame that my government , in its silence supported by cowed MPs, a media that has failed in its entirity to honour its obligation to challenge and question is as complicit in the crime as those that both ordered and carried out such atrocities .
How can anyone possibly claim that Israel’s relentless, brutal, life-destroying and apartheid actions against Palestinians aren’t worse – often far worse – than those meted out by S.Africa’s Thatcher+Reagan-approved apartheid regime?
The callous clogging of water wells in the Occupied territories is another example of the Israeli government’s oppression of Palestinians — and further evidence for a case to hold Israel accountable to the International Criminal Court.
Destroying water supplies? Time to get real! If you want to ethnically cleanse people of a particular ethnicity and/or religion from an area, destroying their access to a proper water supply is a good place to start.
Oh I have no doubt that they told their families, their children and their parents, that they destroyed the water wells, and they all had a good laugh about it.
The hatred towards the Palestinians knows no bounds. There is something Evil that grips the Leaders of Israel and each generation of Leaders appears to get worse.
They are murdering, beating and mentally torturing the Palestinians in their attempt to drive them out of Palestine. I’m afraid that the Nakba was not a one off, it didn’t stop, it might have had periods of slowing down but it quickly bounced back and right now it is peaking again under this latest Government led by Netanyahu.
Any time a Country votes in an extreme Rightwing Government, it encourages the Racists, the Thugs to crawl out of their (cells) and do what gives them pleasure, Hurting people, Bullying, beating and worse, in the case of Israel, because they are not punished they are murdering, stealing their homes and their land.
If this was happening in any other Country action would be taken by the UN but because of the US vetoing any resolution that aims to stop Israel’s behaviour towards the Palestinians, nothing is done.
Isn’t destroying a people’s access to water a crime against humanity and as such should be reported to the UN and ICC?
