Even more than food, water is an inalienable human right.
"...Water supplied in Gaza unfit for drinking; Israel prevents entry of materials needed to repair system
"Published: 23 Aug 2010
"Almost 95 percent of the water pumped in the Gaza Strip is polluted and unfit for drinking. This warning was recently issued by the UN Environment Programme, the Palestinian Water Authority, the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility, and international aid organizations.
"They estimate it will take at least 20 years to rehabilitate Gaza's underground water system, and any delay in dealing with the problem will lead to additional deterioration in the situation and thus might extend the rehabilitation process for hundreds of years.
"Since it began its siege on the Gaza Strip, in June 2007, Israel has forbidden the entry of equipment and materials needed to rehabilitate the water and wastewater-treatment systems there.
"The prohibition has remained despite the recent easing of the siege."

Please take this water issue to a new thread. This thread is about Israeli officials who have ruled Israel continuously for the past 3,000 years.
So, why did the Zionists accept a part of Palestine in 1947 when they already had the whole pie?
