something you might not know

This is just some amazing things Israel is doing to Palestinians (aka my people).

Troubled Waters" is a short report about the water problem and the discriminatory policies that Israel imposes on the Palestinian population.
"As the occupier power , Israel has an obligation to take care of the needs of the population under its occupation, and its failing to do so."

Another 3 minute movie about the water problem.
Israel knows that many Palestinians depend on water for income since they work in agriculture. Cutting off water or giving them less supplies of water (that is sometimes polluted) than the settlers next to them makes it hard for them to cultivate the land to sell their crops, and if they manage to do it would be hard to compete in the market. This means that people have no income and they are forced to move out their land, and that makes it possible for Israel to expand and gain those lands as "state lands." Water is important because without it, nothing is possible.
