The Dams of Gaza

I still don’t understand the far left’s desire to create and promote an image of a devil-Israel. Is it simply libelistic antisemitism?

On Saturday, as the Middle-Eastern storm wound down, Occupy London posted on facebook (“>transferred water pumps to Gaza as well as “>56 Sudanese asylum-seekers that simply took off from the “Holot” facility in southern Israel Sunday morning, to show up in downtown Be’er Sheva, actually fled a North-Korean-style gulag under hellish fire. Would a claim of that sort help the asylum-seekers? Did the dams story help anyone in Gaza?

Like an old-school model train builder, they’re busy piecing together, one libel at a time, a parallel world so far out of reality, so detached from the challenges facing anyone who'd like to see peace in the region, so counter to peace itself. This is not an exaggeration or amplification, but a complete, fantastic inversion.

Another participant in the thread brought the irony of this inversion home: “Israel didn't flood Gaza with sewage, it purifies and recycles most of its sewage for use in irrigating crops.”

80% of its waste water, to be exact, the highest percentage in the World, with 2nd place Spain hitting the 12% mark.
