Gaza Now Has a Toxic 'Biosphere of War' That No One Can Escape

Gaza has often been invaded for its water. Every army leaving or entering the Sinai desert, whether Babylonians, Alexander the Great, the Ottomans, or the British, has sought relief there. But today the water of Gaza highlights a toxic situation that is spiralling out of control.

A combination of repeated Israeli attacks and the sealing of its borders by Israel and Egypt, have left the territory unable to process its water or waste. Every drop of water swallowed in Gaza, like every toilet flushed or antibiotic imbibed, returns to the environment in a degraded state.

"Degraded" -- certainly seems apropros for who "the palestinians" are and how they behave.

Sucks to be them.

Hmmm, maybe the Palestinians should use some of the money they receive and instead of spending it on war and weapons, they should spend it on infrastructure so that their people could have clean water, food and power like Israel. What am I thinking? That could never happen, first they would have to actually enter the modern world and leave the ignorance of medieval times behind.

As long as Gazza's people want to kill/maim Israelis they will live to die. The bottom line is they hate Jews more than they love their children.

Gaza was a beautiful place with farms and greenhouses producing food.  When the Palestinians took over, they destroyed the greenhouses and farms and don't grew food there now.

They get money and don't build water treatment plants but buy military goods and build more tunnels into Israel.  If they were in Israel, they would kill it, too.

Ditto for Lebanon when it was still a majority Christian country.
