Israel accused committing genocide for preventing the access to water

According to many in power in Israel they are. This poster is just saying the quiet part out loud.

Innocent civilians are the enemy?

They're just expected not to deprive millions of civilians of water. It's basic enough. Anyone with a shred of humanity who recognises that Gazans are human beings with human rights can see that.

Also, they're the occupying power which gives them disproportionate power over Gazans. And Gazans aren't the enemy. They're people like you and me.

The lovely moral IDF soldiers FILMED themselves destroying a water reservoir. But some people on here (some who are probably mothers) don't seem to give a shit that Palestinian children are dying preventable deaths because Israel is deliberately damaging their water supplies.

Did you even read the article?

Human Rights Watch also analyzed satellite imagery and verified photographs and videos captured between the beginning of the hostilities and August 2024. These show extensive damage and destruction to water and sanitation infrastructure, including the apparently deliberate, systematic razing of the solar panels powering four of Gaza’s six wastewater treatment plants by Israeli ground forces, as well as Israeli soldiers filming themselves demolishing a key water reservoir.[8]

I support Israel going after Hamas (no country in the world would calmly accept the events of Oct 7th), but reservoirs and sanitation plants are not military targets. I can't view this as anything except collective punishment for October 7th and the Palestinian celebrations afterwards.

Gaza, looks like dystopian hellscape, now. It's going to take years to rebuild and the water supply has to be the priority.

Wrong answer.
Please go and check once again who is controlling the Rafah crossing.
Even whilst Egypt did have control of the crossing no aid could go into Gaza via Egypt until it had been checked by the Israeli side and approved by them which meant many essential items were not allowed in for ridiculous reasons.

It is not about supplying and arming your enemy. It is about facilitating access to humanitarian aid. Don't worry Isreal aren't supplying just need to ensure civilians get access to it. Restricting humanitarian aid is a war crime.

Oh and the enemy is Hamas not innocent civilians but IDF seems to have mixed that one up too.

@DayAfter isn't Israel meant to be at war with Hamas? Not innocent civilians in Gaza.

I see the piece in inverted commas, the quote is from another poster who put it in quotation marks. But no one actually said it on this thread. Its therefore an assumption of what one thinks might be said rather than actually quoting what someone did say. This is seen a lot on these threads and then the outrage at the prejudice of a statement that no one actually even said to start with. So next poster, ie you requotes it, as if it's been said. It wasn't said. I've checked the small number of posts before that and no one said it here.

The piece in inverted commas was the words from the post I quoted so not sure what you are on about.

I agree but just to give the benefit of the doubt @DayAfter who do you think controls what goes into Gaza from all the crossings including the Rafah crossing?

Did you read the article, can you say how your post is relevant to it?

Wow. This is one of the most clueless and shameful posts I've ever seen on these boards. And that's saying something.

There's so much wrong with what you've said I don't even know where to start. But I suspect there's no point.

It's not prejudice it's a factual statement based on the graph. Adding the bits then pretending it's a quote is an interesting thing you've done. Quotation marks usually contain what is actually said word for word if you're not aware.

Another poster has subsequently added information on why it's 15 litres each person each day which is much more helpful.

That's why Netanyahu has been charged with crimes against humanity but according to him, he has done nothing wrong and it's just an anti-semitic attack.
Murdering thousands of Palestinians, intentionally depriving a whole population of the necessities to live and turning large parts of the enclave into uninhabitable rubble doesn't somehow come into it.

There's a big difference between 2 litres for drinking Vs 2 litres for everything.
Isn't it torture on a mass scale to intentionally deprive people of these basic necessities. If I did it to someone I would be in jail - and rightly so.

I can't get my head around it.
