Water is life — and Israel’s systematic theft, restriction, and destruction of Palestinian water resources is extinguishing both daily survival and an entire way of life.
While Israeli settlers building ‘Eretz Israel’ consume over 350 liters of water per person daily, West Bank Palestinians survive on a fraction of that. In the Gaza Strip, where the population has only a few liters of clean water per capita per day, Israel’s deliberate deprivation of water has triggered a severe health crisis and been denounced as a genocidal act.
Our panel will discuss Israel’s use of water as a weapon of ethnic cleansing and genocide, and how we can respond.
