Ok so who on the list I posted was born in Israel/Palestine I would be more than happy to be corrected but supporting information would be appreciated. Looking at the current demographics I would hazard a guess that most Palestinians are now native born.
Ahhhhhhhhhh Mom0, not only that you are in control of most of the water resources in the West Bank, which is occupied by you in violation of all international laws and against the well of the whole world, you are also stealing water from Lebanon and Syria. The following, my friend Mom0, is from the an Israeli orginization For residents of the Occupied Territories, the primary result of the change in the law and transfer of powers over the water sector to Israeli bodies was the drastic restriction on drilling new wells to meet their water needs. According to military orders, drilling a well required obtaining a permit, which entailed a lengthy and complicated bureaucratic process. The vast majority of applications submitted during the occupation were denied. The few that were granted were solely for domestic use, and were less than the number of wells that, after 1967, had ceased to be used due to improper maintenance or because they had dried up. It should be emphasized that the legal and institutional changes that Israel instituted in the water sector in the Occupied Territories are not intrinsically unacceptable. They conformed to the approach taken in Israel 's water sector and could, in principle, have led to a more efficient supply of water to the Palestinians. However, Israel utilized these changes to exclusively promote Israeli interests, almost completely ignoring the needs of the Palestinian population, which was left to face a growing water shortage. http://www.btselem.org/english/Water/Shared_Sources.asp Below, please check a report by the same organization Mom0. Please keep in mind that the following report is based on the West Bank which is illegally occupied: The gap in water consumption between Palestinians and Israelis The discrimination in utilization of the resources shared by Israel and the Palestinian Authority is clearly seen in the figures on water consumption by the two populations. Per capita water consumption in the West Bank for domestic, urban, and industrial use is only 22 cubic meters a year, which translates into 60 liters per person per day. There is a huge gap between Israeli and Palestinian consumption. The average Israeli consumes for domestic and urban use approximately 104 cubic meters a year, or 280 liters per person per day. In other words, per capita use in Israel is four and a half times higher than in the Occupied Territories . To make a more precise comparison, by also taking into account industrial water consumption in Israel, per capita use per year reaches 120 cubic meters - 330 liters per person a day - or five and a half times Palestinian per capita consumption. The World Health Organization and the United States Agency for International Development recommend 100 liters of water per person per day as the minimum quantity for basic consumption. This amount includes, in addition to domestic use, consumption in hospitals, schools, businesses, and other public institutions. Palestinian daily consumption is 40 percent less than the recommended quantity. http://www.btselem.org/english/Water/Consumption_Gap.asp And what is it with you Mom0? Why do you resort to such language whenever you lose an argument? We are discussing an issue here.
