It is all about the greedy capitalists and their thirst for oil. Because of oil we have stuck our noses in the affairs of the Arabs and they (Muslim extremists) don't like it. Then on top of that Israel got to take some of their land and that has only compounded things.

If it wasn't for the greedy capitalists we could still be enjoying the environment, riding our bikes to work and breathing clean air.

I am starting to see the wisdom and common sense of the progressive thinkers on the board.

A cool video of Israel's Iron Dome missle defense system. As impressive as simultaenously intercepting 15 missles is, it isn't as impressive as the lady holding a cigarette, and texting like a blonde Kardashian, when the attack begins.

Israel has asked the United States to raise the amount of the annual defense aid from the current 3 billion dollars to 5 billion dollars, an American source revealed to Reuters.

Don't worry, the anti-Semetic jackass in the White House will use an executive order to deny it.

No, I suspect an extra $2 billion per year is the cost of that deal with Iran.

Could be, though Israel has no reason to trust that Dear Leader has their best interest in mind.

Israel's national water company has cut crucial water supplies to large areas of the occupied West Bank, leaving tens of thousands of Palestinians without access to safe drinking water during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Mekorot, the main supplier of water to Palestinian towns and cities, siphoned off water supplies to the municipality of Jenin, several Nablus villages and the city of Salfit and its surrounding villages.
Ayman Rabi, the executive director of the Palestinian Hydrology Group, told Al Jazeera on Tuesday that in some areas people had not received water for more than 40 days.
"People are relying on purchasing water from water trucks or finding it from alternative sources such as springs and other filling points in their vicinity," he said.
"Families are having to live on two, three or 10 litres per capita per day," he said, adding that in some areas they had started rationing water.
The city of Jenin, which has a population of more than 40,000 people, said its water supplies had been cut by half, and warned that it would hold Mekorot solely responsible for any tragedies resulting from water shortages during the hot summer months.

Since 1967, Israel has limited the water available to Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip since its forces occupied the territories.
A spokesperson for the Israeli government told The Indepedentthere is "no truth" in the claims, and said the shortages were down to faulty water lines.
They said: "Several hours ago, COGAT's Civil Administration team have repaired a burst pipe line, which disrupted the water supply to the villages of Marda, Biddya, Jamma'in, Salfit and Tapuach. The water flow has been regulated and is currently up and running.
"Any effort to connect the disruptions with terror is mistaken and misleading.
"Given the failure to develop infrastructures as a result of the unwillingness on behalf of the Palestinians to convene the Joint Water Committee (JWC), there are problems in the water supply."

If you have traveled in the area, the lack of access to water by Palestinian homeowners and farmers (in comparison to their Israeli counterparts) is both obvious and striking.

Sure, but is the cause as obvious?

When you cross over the border from a Palestinian controlled area to one controlled by Israel (e.g. in the farmland north of Jericho along the Jordan River on the way to Nazareth)...

yeah, it is.
