Israel Restricting Water Supply to Gaza is an Act of Genocide, Human Rights Watch Says

It’s over a year ago since we witnessed the Israel “Defense Minister” say that he would use water shortages as a weapon against the Palestinians, to whom he referred to as “human animals.”

Finally, Human Rights Watch has gotten around to saying this is bad.

The Guardian:

Israel’s restriction of Gaza’s water supply to levels below minimum needs amounts to an act of genocide and extermination as a crime against humanity, a human rights report has alleged.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) investigated Israeli attacks on the water supply infrastructure in Gaza over the course of its 14-month war there.

It has accused Israeli forces of deliberate actions intended to cut the availability of clean water so drastically that the population has been forced to resort to contaminated sources, leading to the outbreak of lethal diseases, especially among children.

Israel’s actions have killed many thousands of Palestinians and constitute an act of genocide, HRW argues, citing declarations by ministers in the country’s ruling coalition that Gaza’s water supply would be cut off as evidence of intent.

The 184-page report, Extermination and Acts of Genocide, comes after an Amnesty International report this month concluded that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza.

The medical aid organisation Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) also issued a report on Gaza on Thursday, saying there were “clear signs of ethnic cleansing” and evidence consistent with allegations of genocide.

“What our medical teams have witnessed on the ground throughout this conflict is consistent with the descriptions provided by an increasing number of legal experts and organisations concluding that genocide is taking place in Gaza,” MSF’s secretary general, Christopher Lockyear, said.

“While we don’t have legal authority to establish intentionality, the signs of ethnic cleansing and the ongoing devastation – including mass killings, severe physical and mental health injuries, forced displacement, and impossible conditions of life for Palestinians under siege and bombardment – are undeniable.”

There were provisional orders from the international court of justice earlier in the year for Israel to halt its offensive and take immediate measures to prevent genocide being committed, pending a court ruling on whether it was already committing the crime.

Before the war, 80% of Gaza’s water supply came from wells down to an aquifer under the coastal strip, but that water is contaminated and unfit for human consumption.

Most of Gaza’s drinkable water came from three pipelines controlled by the Israeli water authority and desalination plants.

Those pipelines were cut at the start of the war and only partially reopened. The United Arab Emirates built a water pipeline across the border from Egypt in February, but that supply was cut by damage to the pipeline caused during the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) assault on Rafah.

Gaza’s three main desalination plants halted operations soon after the start of the war and were only able to restart on a partial basis after Israel allowed the UN and other aid agencies to bring in limited quantities of fuel.

Satellite imagery that HRW examined showed that the solar panel arrays powering four of Gaza’s six wastewater treatment plants were razed by Israeli military bulldozers – in northern Gaza, the al-Bureij camp and the Sheikh Ejleen plants in central Gaza and Khan Younis in the south.

Why should it take this long, unless these organizations are controlled by the Jews?

They only come out with this when it no longer even matters.

We had videos of Jews destroying clean water supplies, on purpose, nearly a year ago.

These “watchdog” organizations are all a joke.
