Rotting chicken carcasses in your village’s only source of water supply. Wow. Collective punishment by people who have taken over someone else’s land. Beautiful.
The perpetrators are “suspected militant Jews” - since the media is in my face with militant/fundamentalist/radical/extremist Muslims, i hope it is alright for me to say “militant” and “Jews” in the same sentence… i hope that’s not too anti-Semitic of me, just as it’s not anti-Muslim to say “militant Muslims”.
Back to the topic - what kind of sick people would poison a village’s only source of potable water? i mean, come up with something better…but contaminating this well, who does it affect? Kids, pregnant women, elderly… what kind of moronic act is this.
**Settlers suspected of well attack**, BBC, 13 July 2004
Israeli police suspect Jewish settlers of poisoning the only water source in a Palestinian village in the West Bank.
Residents of Tatwana near Hebron found rotting chicken carcases in their well after four Jewish settlers were seen in the village early on Tuesday morning. Israeli police said they suspected militant Jews from a nearby wildcat settlement outpost called Havat Maon.
“No-one has water,” said village elder Saber Ehrany, who accused settlers of trying to drive the villagers out. But settlers denied being responsible and blamed the contamination on an “internal tribal fight between the Palestinians”.
“We are opposed in principle to any kind of violence and to poisoning wells,” said their spokesman Yehoshua Mor-Yosef. [Opposed to “any kind of violence”? This coming from a settler, is laughable].
Settlers have returned several times to the Havat Maon site after Israeli soldiers expelled them.
Mr Ehrany said it was common for the settlers to harass and intimidate the residents of Tatwana.
“They always do these things to us. They are trying to push us to leave the village,” he said.
Police spokesman Doron Ben-Amo said it was “unlikely” that the Palestinians would contaminate their own well.
