Amnesty: Israel withholds water from Palestinians

How does this solve the problem? How do bring about peace, which is what we need in that region. All this does is create more hatred. Thus more violence. And you won't hear much criticism from the politicians and press in the States. It should be our business because the U.S. is blamed every time the Israelis engage in this type of behavior.

in reference to:

"Amnesty International is accusing Israel of pumping disproportionate amounts of drinking water from an aquifer it controls in the West Bank, depriving local Palestinians of their fair share. The London-based human rights group also said in a report released Tuesday, that Israel has blocked infrastructure projects that would improve existing water supplies to Palestinians—both in the West Bank and those living in the Gaza Strip."
