Funny how all these people have zero concern over how Palestinians support a terrorist group, as designated by the US State Dept, EU, and UN, and none for all the Jews killed, raped, beheaded, and kidnapped, eh?
How Israel’s blockade of Gaza created an environmental catastrophe
As some of the most brutal Israeli airstrikes in recent memory pound the Gaza Strip, it has taken little time for the human consequences of the latest round of hostilities to manifest.
A vivid example came on October 17, when an explosion at the al-Ahli Arab Hospital killed hundreds of Palestinians.
Which was caused by Hamas, but, this Arab propoganda outlet wants people to assume it was those Jews
But the full extent of the violence’s toll, including its impact on Gaza’s festering environmental issues, may take longer to become apparent. Nonetheless, some of the Israeli siege’s effects on Gaza’s environment are already coming into focus.
Among Gaza’s most visible, persistent environmental issues has been a shortage of drinking water.
Don’t dig up water pipes and turn them into rockets.
In 2019, UNICEF reported an alarming set of statistics: 96 percent of the water from Gaza’s aquifer was “unfit for human consumption” while only a tenth of Gazans enjoyed “direct access to safe water.”
Perhaps don’t spend all your money on weapons to kill Jews
The international organisation added that 1.8 million of the territory’s residents — half of them children — needed “some form of humanitarian Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) assistance.”
UNICEF described WASH access as “a basic human right.”
Terrorists need help learning to wash?
While Gaza could once count on desalination plants for a source of drinking water independent of its contaminated aquifer, Israel severed Gazans from the electric grid on October 9, leaving the desalination plants without a power supply.
There are consequences for being terrorists
But some of the greatest costs for the environment — and the Gazans who rely on it — may result from the devastation of infrastructure. A 2022 article by scientists based in Canada, the United States, and Gaza itself argued that “the destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure is exacerbating environmental health impacts.”
The article cited instances of Israeli operations that damaged farmland, contributed to disease outbreaks and pollution, and hindered climate change mitigation and waste management.
Does anyone possibly think Hamas gives a crap about ‘climate change’? Really, this whole the New Arab piece is designed to influence Useful Idiots in the Western world.

About 5000 people living in Hazard have been killed.
50% of the humans living there are children
Of the 50% that are adults only half are adult males.
Most of the dead in Haza are either women or children
In WW2 2/3s of the dead were civilian, that is not shown in war movies
H
In case you missed it Hamas attacked Israel.
That means Hamas and Hamas alone is responsible for all deaths.
You, and those like you who support Hamas, also have blood on your hands,
Carbon boy-then you better tell your friends not to hide themselves and their rocket launchers, munitions, ect., among civilians. I know this is a difficult concept you to understand as it’s very complicated…..
That’s pretty much every Asian country but Japan and all of inhabited parts of Africa. Certainly every Islamic country, China and India. You know who isn’t like that? Israel. They have sewage treatment plants and know how to use them.
Gaza’s environmental disaster is the natural consequence of 2 million people living in a tiny community and putting zero effort into conservation of the environment because culturally, it has no value to them. The environment is a first world problem.
Maybe because whites are aware that you don’t shit where you eat. Or is that science too advanced for the rest of the world?
I suspect it is culturally ingrained into a very large part of humanity. There is an idea of the “walled garden” that is common in most of the world. The primative human sees the garden as his own and what is outside the wall is someone else’s problem. Thus, he is free to throw his trash over the wall and it is forgotten. His sewage only needs to get as far away from his own house to run downhill somewhere else. what happens underground is a mystery and “not his problem”. Europe and the early North American colonies also had this problem but very quickly built upon old Roman examples of urban sanitation, experience with plagues, and the use of taxes and to solve collective problems. Freedom and liberty are important concepts. In societies where no one owns anything (communism in particular, but also most hierarchical primitive societies), the “serfs” never learn to care about the environment. Under conditions of grinding poverty (North Korea, China, Venezuela, Gaza, etc) , no one can afford to create and maintain the infrastructure to support a modern society. Capitalism generates the sort of wealth that pays the bills for water treatment, as well as a lot of other things that civilized countries take for granted, because in capitalist countries, those things are so “normal” that we expect they exist everywhere else too and headlines about “95% of ground water is undrinkable” strike us as being severely abnormal. But in reality, that is the normal condition of most of the world.
