Genocide? As Gaza Dries Out, Israel Turns Off Fresh Water Spigot

Genocide? As Gaza Dries Out, Israel Turns Off Fresh Water Spigot

 

 

We
are witnessing the wiping out of an entire population right before our
eyes. According to the UN, Gaza, the largest open air prison and ghetto
in the world with a population of 2 million Palestinians, will be
uninhabitable by 2020 because of Israel's bombardment and siege of the
strip. Palestinians are getting sick from drinking practically sewage
water and Israel is cutting off their only access to clean drinking
water. It's so bad that even the Israeli military has come out and said
the situation is Gaza is getting dire. It's 2018, and the United States
is once again complicit in apartheid and genocide by funding this
atrocity. This is easily preventable but the military industrial complex
won't allow a solution. Our so called leaders like Nikki Haley are
busy crying crocodile tears for alleged crimes committed in nations our
administration wants to overthrow, yet are silent to the real crimes
happening in Palestine. Shame.
