So what's the reasoning for why Isreal gets to impose that policy on Palestinians?
“All power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”
— Mao Zedong
Who knows? Maybe someone should ask the Israeli government instead of assuming without facts.
If you ask me, I think it's to control where people can drink safe quality water so they can spend less money on humanitarian aid curing easily preventable stagnating water-bourne diseases and shift that same money over to war production against Hamas instead.
I think Hamas wants Israel to stretch its defense budget as thin as possible by deliberately creating humanitarian disasters in Gaza so that Israel can't spend it on military equipment against Hamas.
Ah yes, ask "no, we didn't use white phosphorus" isreal
