Palestinians are dumping raw sewage into rivers being created in the West Bank due to heavy rain/snow. Then in turn they are complaining that Israel is keeping the flood gates closed. How stupid do you have to be to not understand that Israel doesn't want untreated sewage?

Driving rain could not mask the stench of raw sewage being unloaded from a tanker on a village road outside Qalqilya on Tuesday, its putrid contents mixing with the brown torrent pouring past olive trees clustered on the hills.

"Raw sewage is disposed near, or on, agricultural land resulting in the contamination of soil and groundwater," UNRWA said in a report.

Tell me what you do if you have no infrastructure and Israel isn't letting you build any.

I just got done reading about all of the elaborate smuggling tunnels they build.....so one would think they'd be capable of building better sanitary facilities. I mean, the romans did it 2000 years ago....

Heck, we have similar problems here in the US in places.

It's generally a question of political will and priorities.

They could probably figure out something if they didn't spend all their time trying to kill people.

Lets be fair the Jews are trying to kill off the Palestinians quietly in any way they can. The Jews will reap the whirlwind one day if they do not quit trying to bully the world. Its no wonder that the Jews get a bad rep.

Its not totally Israel stopping an infrastructure from being put it. Its the lack of cooperation from the PA to fund their own connection to one that was built in the West Bank. They petitioned it not to be opened because they stated it was built on Palestian land and thus don't want it shared with Israel.The reason why Palestinian waste water infrastructure is so poor is that plans for waste water plants face significant delays due to political fighting between Palestinian and Israeli authorities.

The tunnels are in Gaza and not the West Bank. Gaza is lead by Hamas and the West Bank is lead by Fatah. Neither cooperates with the other. Gaza doesn't spend its black market money on infrastructure. Instead they dump their sewage directly into the ocean.

Facts won't mean much to the far-left, anti-Semite/ anti-Christians here.
