Tel-Chai Nation: Water theft in Hebron district

There's been a case going on for some time of Muslims stealing water from Hebron reservoirs, and the latest incident happened just recently:

Israelis in the community of Maaleh Hever, situated south of Hebron, woke up Thursday morning to discover that they had no water in their taps, the third time in two weeks this has occurred.

The recurring water cuts are the result of water theft carried out by local Arabs during the summer months, a phenomenon that has increased in recent weeks. Several other communities in the area have experienced water shortages as a result of water theft.

The Arabs connect illegally to the water system and by doing so cause the water pressure to drop and deplete the resources.

Over 70 families were left without water on Thursday, leading Har Hevron Regional Council head Yochai Damri to demand that the Israeli government act forcefully against the thieves.

Rachel Horvitz, manager of Maale Hever, said that the residents were “unwilling to accept a reality in which the Arabs sabotaged the system and stole water to irrigate their fields in an illegal fashion while we remained with no drinking water.”

Even in the PLO enclaves themselves, this is a problem:

There has also been water theft within the Palestinian Authority (PA) by Arabs against other Arabs.

In July 2010, the Palestinian Ma’an news agency reported that a municipal leader in the Hebron area had been accused of failing to “commit to the Water Authority’s standards on infrastructure and water theft.”

Needless to say, causing water shortages is a serious offense, and the Israeli government is strongly advised to tackle the issue convincingly.

Similarly, neo-Nazis in Germany have begun using the phrase “Israel is our misfortune,” a sentiment that converges with the German [Leftist] Green Party’s explicit support for BDS. The crossover between the two streams was seen recently when a founder of the Green Party spoke at a neo-Nazi event.

“During the past year-and-a-half, he [Yigal Carmon] explained, MEMRI concentrated on monitoring sermons by imams [Muslim preachers] across America.

The results from a random sample of over 100 imams, he said, were shocking.

The sermons were laced with incitement to kill Jews, support for global jihad and hard-core misogyny.

A few imams, he said, preached tolerance and coexistence, but they were a small minority.”

“[IUMS Trustee Sheikh Hassan Ould] Aldo and the [Muslim] Brotherhood use language similar to what Hamas used in its original charter, which rejected any peaceful coexistence. To them, Palestine is part of a waqf, a holy Islamic trust, that no person can negotiate away.”

Mr. Yaakov Lappin [a military and
strategic affairs correspondent] said:

“An Iranian network of terrorist cells
is spread out around the world,
ready for activation at any time….”
......................................
“The Iranians have built up a wide-reaching network of radical surrogates that extends beyond the Middle East. Members of this network range from hierarchical terror armies like Hezbollah, armed with massive arsenals of projectiles, to sleeper terrorist cells active in Europe, North America, and Latin America.”
......................................
“This would explain the discovery and recent announcement of a Hezbollah bomb factory in London. It appears highly likely that the bombs were intended for Hezbollah cells intent on attacking Israeli targets in Britain.”
......................................
“Past incidents have seen [Iran-backed]
Hezbollah operatives scope out Israeli
targets in countries as far away as Peru.”
