PHOENIX is actually a transmitter which I deeply respect : good trip reports, country information and documentation. In fact - but now Phoenix has been a four-part documentary on the water balance in the Middle East, which has me taken off his shoes.
is known that future wars no longer about land, money and fame (or other nonsense) will be held - but over water . There is the area between Jordan and the Mediterranean is no exception - to say but in an expensive documentary, broadcast in prime time for the Isarelis would waste water - in part because water for farmers in Israel is expensive, is a baseless impertinence, and probably has no other aim than Israel to defame the Palestinians and continue to portray as victims.
Only in the past week (January 2011) I was on the West Bank way, a week before I had ever visited Bethlehem, Beit Jala and Hebron . To put it short: Israel and the Palestinian autonomous region suffers from extreme lack of water - the Sea of Galilee (the water storage in the region) has in this recorded year on a total area of 165 square kilometers a loss of 5 yards. They are this year about 825 million less water than last year. The Israelis raised the issue ever since the founding of the state and trying to green including the Negev, they are building desalination plants and sewage treatment plants. With water in the Holy Land how to deal with gold dust: Anything but no waste . And cars, as the Palestinians can claim without comment at the beginning of the first part will not be washed in Israel. This is the Water too precious.
is studiously concealed in the documentation mentioned that the Israeli Palestinian villages and have offered to towns on the West Bank, are provided for by treatment plants - for free! The respective mayors were initially very excited - but then said days later. Why? Then came a short visit for representatives of Hamas, the militant raised index finger and it was over with a Palestinian-Israeli cooperation. But even
see - here the first part. Other parts can be admired on youtube.
