Water or War

Submitted by Houdda, Aug 18, 2007 06:49

Many studies have already shown that Israel is already controlling many waters in the region. In the occupied territories many water sources have been polluted .Thus it becomes very hard for the Palestinians to have drinkable water sources. These are proven facts. Now , Israel is trying to control waters elsewhere. Because it is a precious ressource with the lands. Why should countries of the region give guarantees about their own water? Why should there be any attempt to deny others the right to manage their ressources. Should they behave like , in the occupied territories , and accept the same fact. This is a very serious issue which deserves a fair study and follow up by a UN independant body , not less.
