World Water Day, like so many UN-sponsored events and organizations, has been usurped by extremist Muslim elements and converted into an effort entirely directed against Israel. The event would seem to have been tailored to highlight the accomplishments of Israel in the arena of water conservation and the advancement and use of potable water technology. Israel, after all, has turned a desert wasteland into a green oasis of agriculture which exports more fruit than any nation on earth. Despite this, the clean water movement has been tainted by the unrelenting hatred issuing from the point source of evil in the world today: Islam.
The human wasteland which is Gaza has produced a terrorist government which has rightly and wisely been isolated by its neighbors, Egypt and Israel. Both nations have been ruthlessly attacked by the Iran-backed terrorist organization Hamas, which has fired thousands of rockets into Israel from Gaza. The isolation and suffering which Hamas has brought upon Gaza is unprecedented, even for that wretched parcel of land, which for decades has been deliberately kept in poverty by successive Palestinian governments for purely political reasons. Used as pawns in a propaganda battle, the residents of Gaza are forced to live in "refugee camps" that are 50 years old. Nowhere have "refugees" been housed deliberately in temporary quarters for 50 years. These people are deliberately kept in gut-wrenching poverty by their Arab overlords, not by Israel. The amount of funding that flows into Gaza is staggering. Not even the wealthiest American cities enjoy a per-capita wealth equal to the people of Gaza - if you would distribute the moneys donated to them.
For the billions of dollars flowing annually into Gaza, it's citizens should have champagne piped into each home. As it is, the murderous policies of Hamas prevents funds from being spent on potable water, and ensures restrictive embargoes which might otherwise provide outside efforts to help the matter. That fact of those embargoes is the fault entirely of Hamas, not of the nations which rightly observe them. the people of Gaza have chosen to elect Hamas as their representative government, and they are suffering the direct results of that choice.
