- johnwayne1, on 10/28/2009, -1/+14Do they have anything going for them over there. Seriously, for being the promise land, sure sounds like hell to me.
- samard2002, on 10/28/2009, -2/+15Things I learned in this headline: Gaza is considered habitable.
- chadpryor, on 10/28/2009, -8/+19The sooner it is uninhabitable, the sooner they will stop fighting over it.
- tsotha, on 10/28/2009, -9/+19Hamas smuggled thousands of rockets through the tunnels under the Egyptian border last year. You'd think they would forgo a rocket or two and smuggle in some water pipes. But no.
I wish the rest of the world would stop treating these people like children. - bakerstreet05, on 10/27/2009, -10/+17We should take care of this
- stonecircle, on 10/28/2009, -1/+7I can't believe some of these comments. It's inevitable that wars will be fought over water. The holier-than-thou folks here, particularly those living in the southwestern U.S., are one day going to find their own aquifers are empty.
- zolthar, on 10/28/2009, -3/+9Israel already supplies them with water, electricity, etc.
Some Israeli groups demanded to cut them off after Palestinians fired rockets and mortars at Israeli civilians, but Israel was immediately criticized for 'Collective Punishment'.
Gaza has some Distillation and Purification facilities for sea water, mostly built with Israeli aid, but the current regime (Hamas) did not invest it's resources in such projects. - subxone, on 10/28/2009, -8/+13@Egskibu - Israel pulled out of Gaza a number of years ago, there is no occupationm, just a corrupt government not giving a ***** about its people.
- sanman, on 10/28/2009, -4/+9yeah, it's not like Muslims don't show up in other peoples' lands to kill or oppress them
/s - GrandZooby, on 10/28/2009, -1/+5Really? And what are they going to connect those water pipes too? The water sources are drying up because the water's been diverted, or it's been cut off all together. More pipes won't help if there's no water.
Oh wait, you mean "water pipes" so they can smoke more? Hmmmmm hubbly bubbly.... - nepidae, on 10/28/2009, -0/+3That would require the UN to be more than a circlejerk.
- Frogger4Truth, on 10/28/2009, -5/+8why not offer a trade? water in return for an end to the suicide bombers and missile attacks. let them get thirsty enough and they'll agree... or the problem will solve itself ;)
- whatthefu, on 10/28/2009, -5/+8I know. Millions deserve to be imprisoned in their own land and killed off, obviously. Because that makes perfect sense.
- jwolcott, on 10/28/2009, -1/+4http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2008/01/25/israelgaza-i ...
- SubversiveVibe, on 10/28/2009, -3/+5Gaza should be a UN protectorate. Conditions like this just exacerbate all the political problems in the region.
- Dr3w, on 10/28/2009, -6/+8This is sad. I'm sure there are many living in the Gaza strip that really do just want water and food, but unfortunately some among them only care about more rockets. Certain members of both sides of this conflict should be charged with crimes against humanity IMO.
- CourageWulf, on 10/27/2009, -5/+7Should, would, could, but probably won't.
- SubversiveVibe, on 10/28/2009, -7/+9Yes because every man woman and child in Gaza is a ***** terrorist. Oh wait, that's a ridiculous idea. How would you feel if you were punished for something someone else in your country did?
- BassMastr, on 10/28/2009, -0/+1Exactly what would the UN do about anything? Would they be as effective as they were on the Lebanese border? The UN is a great idea but doesn't work...at all.
- Frogger4Truth, on 10/28/2009, -3/+4amen!
- gizram84, on 10/28/2009, -2/+3@lostlyrics
wow, like i give a *****. i'll be back with gizram85 if your pathetic attempt to run to mommy actually works.
grow up you pansie little man child. - gizram84, on 10/28/2009, -1/+2Gaza != Brown People
buried. - GrandZooby, on 10/28/2009, -4/+5@sanman, you do realize that many of the Palestinians are not Muslim, but are actually Christian? Arafat, your favorite "bad guy" was a Christian.
@Chordonblue, what would you do if Mexico took back part of Texas and you happened to live in that area and nobody did anything about it? Wouldn't you fight back? Or would you collaborate so you could keep having a nice life?
I know it's hard for both of you, but try looking at things through their perspective and you might understand why they keep fighting. - lostlyrics, on 10/28/2009, -1/+2I think it was sarcastic, check profile
- Lavarock, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1lighten up digg
- Barackalypse, on 10/28/2009, -3/+4No, we shouldn't, first because it isn't our responsibility, second because there are many people far more deserving of help, and third because you can't actually make a difference here until there is peace in the region.
- BassMastr, on 10/28/2009, -2/+3What should make u sick is how much $$ is spent by their leaders on weapons and materials to wage war. They have plenty of $$ to fix this if they really care about their people. I doubt they do.
- Chordonblue, on 10/28/2009, -6/+7Well, let's be honest, Hamas didn't end up in charge all by their lonesome. It took a vote of the people, and the people have spoken.
Apparently their never ending hate for anything Jew won't stop with water problems... - tsotha, on 10/28/2009, -0/+0You didn't read the article, did you?
- noton, on 10/28/2009, -7/+7Israel gives Gaza all its water in accordance with the Oslo peace accords!
- Arnold22, on 10/28/2009, -4/+4Yeah someone should get on this.
- BassMastr, on 10/28/2009, -1/+1U need to educate yourself a little more about the situation if u think ur statement is accurate.
- sanman, on 10/28/2009, -3/+3maybe the Israelis can learn to do what the Europeans did by issuing an apology note afterwards and saying it's time to move forward
- nepidae, on 10/28/2009, -4/+4You can start by writing your senator to oppose any and all funding to israel beyond foodstuffs and medical supplies. (i'm not pro palestine, i'm anti being taken advantage of, which is what israel is doing to america).
@johnwayne1, completely agree that it would be better for nothing to live there than the ***** that occupies the area now.
@Barackalypse, unfortunately it is our responsibility (assuming you mean USA) because we are one of the major forces that allows israel to act with impunity. (personally i would rather not fund this, but we do so we have to live with it) - PBRbeer, on 10/28/2009, -22/+22We are already giving them billions in aid, they should be able to handle this situation.
And secondly if they weren't overpopulating the area by having an average of somewhere around 8 children per household they wouldn't be in this mess. They have been playing a breeding game against the Israelis in the name of taking the majority for years now.... it's their own damn faults. And the Israelis have been doing the same, maybe they will finally wake up when it gets bad enough for the average citizens. - Chordonblue, on 10/28/2009, -4/+3B.bb.b.bbut... I thought Hamas was going to solve everything!
Perhaps this is the kind of thing that happens when you lead with hate.
/No? - tusharpant, on 10/28/2009, -6/+5This is alarming
- egskibum, on 11/01/2009, -1/+0"Statement"? "Accurate"? Wow you're using some big boy words. Finish your criticism and tell me where I'm being inaccurate? Here are a few articles for you to read in the mean time:

http://antiisgood.wordpress.com/2008/05/05/israeli ... - johnwayne1, on 10/28/2009, -11/+10I sure hope you joking. ***** them. The sooner that land is uninhabitable, the better for everyone.
- BassMastr, on 10/28/2009, -3/+2Yes they should ask Iran for or Syria for $$$ to fix it instead of $$$ for rockets, bombs and materials to wage war.
- Kirion, on 10/28/2009, -6/+5We do realize that there are are Christian Palestinians. But not in Gaza, it's islamic fascist quasi-state.
- tsotha, on 10/28/2009, -2/+1Look, if you try to kill your neighbors you shouldn't be surprised if they take steps to prevent that from happening. The Israelis are under no obligation to let goods flow from Israeli territory to the Gaza strip.
But my point is this: Hamas is putting a lot of resources into building the capability to attack Israeli cities. They have smuggling networks they're using to import thousands long range rockets from Iran. So it's not like they're completely powerless to fix their sewage system - they're like your teenage kid who spends his money on CDs and then demands you pay to fix his car. In a way I can't blame them, because the international community has been quite willing to go along with this sort of thing.
At the very least Hamas can deal with the unauthorized wells that are draining the aquifer too quickly - that won't take any supplies on their part at all. They just have to shut those wells down. - gizram84, on 10/28/2009, -4/+3it sounds ***** up, but it gaza was wiped off earth, the world would be a better place. yes innocent people would have to die, but it would benefit the rest of the world.
sacrifice .00006114% of the global population to save the world? sounds good to me. - swantamer, on 10/28/2009, -5/+4Let the filthy savages all die of dehydration, it's not like they are human beings or anything. Hitler would be remembered as the greatest hero in history of the world if he had targeted the islamic fundamentalists for extermination instead of the jews.
- BassMastr, on 10/28/2009, -3/+1If I was being punished for my neighbors blowing people up...I would turn on my neighbors. ...These people know who the terrorists are. They knew exactly what they were getting when they elected a terrorist govt.
- subxone, on 10/28/2009, -5/+3Didnt Muhammad teach the Muslims the withdrawal method?
- jwolcott, on 10/28/2009, -7/+5Israeli Blockade Unlawful Despite Gaza Border Breach: http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2008/01/25/israelgaza-i ...
- Barackalypse, on 10/28/2009, -4/+2That's what happens when you have a 2.225% population growth rate, no economy, and live in a dry climate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_P ... - fury420, on 10/28/2009, -7/+5IMO they stop being completely innocent civilians when they vote for & support terrorists.
