See whats happening ? a post war ..and this is exactly the kind of thing certain organizations want ..to incite the people to hatred. its hard to be objective when one feels passionate about a topic ..it hits close to home for some people ..so try to realize that because you may feel passionate about it .the opposition may feel the same way ..this has being going on long before most of us were even born ..we need to rise above the hate and slander .the battles are out there not in here just my opinion though

cheers

what Israeli settlements in Gaza ? Israel evicted all the settlements from the
Gaza strip few years ago . . .

Israel gets its water supply from three sources , a big water lake in the north
(Sea of Galilee),2 underground aquifers ,and lately seawater desalination as well ,
in addition to recycling of sewer wastes for use in agriculture .

and the Palestinians also use the aquifers .but the shore aquifer suffers from over draining
and also getting more and more polluted because of lack of proper infrastructures .

I don't hate jewish people, just israel as a country. I did defend israel at one time but man, if the shoe fits!

it's all good and nice that you pretty sure but you are wrong .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip
In February 2005, the Israeli government voted to implement a unilateral disengagement plan from the Gaza Strip. The plan began to be implemented on 15 August 2005, and was completed on 12 September 2005. Under the plan, all Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip (and four in the West Bank) and the joint Israeli-Palestinian Erez Industrial Zone were dismantled with the removal of all 9,000 Israeli settlers (most of them in the Gush Katif settlement area in the Strip's southwest) and military bases. On 12 September 2005 the Israeli cabinet formally declared an end to Israeli military rule in the Gaza Strip. To avoid any allegation that it was still in occupation of any part of the Gaza Strip, Israel also withdrew from the Philadelphi Route, which is a narrow strip adjacent to the Strip's border with Egypt, after Egypt's agreement to secure its side of the border.

i don't think you are aware how bad the water situation in this part
of the world is, this all area suffered from drought and almost non existent
winters for couple of years .
the prices of water keeps going up and up in Israel , so if someone wants
private pool he can have it ,but it will cost him pretty much .

with that said the official figures are " total figures were 408 liters per day for Israelis
and 287 liters for Palestinians. "

I don't know the exact amounts per capita but i can guess that the Palestinian quota will be far less than the Israeli amount. There is no equality in the region so why would the water be distributed evenly? Shocking.
