The report was issued two weeks ago but only now appeared in the press. Essentially it states that 450,000 settlers get more water then 2.3 miullion Palestinians. It also acknowledges Israel systematically destroys Palestinian wells so as to deny them water for their crops. Israel typically blocks planned construction of water purification plants planned by the Palestinian Water Ministry. The French report called it "Water Apartheid".

The surprise is the French Parliment took the time to assess the facts and issue the report. It seems to me the UN would have been the correct venue and would have carried much more political weight. The settlements are deemed illegal by the UN under International Law and various conventions so one must conclude the Israelis are not only stealing the land but also the water.

People of conscience are finally speaking out and in doing so increase the awareness of Israeli apartheid. Thank You France!
