Palestinian Poisoning of Israel’s Wells

Israel resumes direct negotiations with the Palestinians today, thanks to its agreement to release another one hundred terrorists from Israeli jails – even though most will likely resume their jihad against the Jewish State.

Lethal insult is added to injury by the fact that the Palestinians are simultaneously making clear their abiding determination to destroy Israel in one of the most revolting ways imaginable. Each year, Palestinian towns and villages on the high ground of the West Bank send some fifty million cubic meters of raw sewage downhill to pollute the streams, lands and aquifers of Israel.

Among other pollutants, this practice is introducing the polio virus into Israel’s water supply. Those who deliberately do that to their neighbors are not people with whom a real and durable peace can ever be reached.
