Israel's secret plan to supply drinking water for Palestinians

Israel fulfilled its requirements under Oslo and ....something you'll never read in the Post....is now doing more.

Read this from the New Scientist

Here are some money quotes:

The new plans call for seawater to be desalinated at Caesaria on the Mediterranean coast, and then pumped into the West Bank, where a network of pipes will deliver it to large towns and many of the 250 villages that currently rely on local springs and small wells for their water.

Water supply is one of the few areas where cooperation between Israel and Palestine has survived the current intifada. Every day on the West Bank, Palestinian engineers help repair and maintain Israeli water pipes, and vice versa.

But of course, no article would be complete without slandering Israel. In fact, like the Post's slanderous coverage, this slander is made gratuitously:

But now it appears that Israeli water planners see desalination as a means of retaining control of those aquifers.

huh...how does that follow from what was just reported.

Why, its worthy of the comPost!
