As we know water is human’s basic need but at present in the world some place people don’t have enough water. The article from the BBC news, “Israel cuts Palestinian water.” Show us the have the Israeli discrimination Palestinians and restrictions the water for Palestinian.
From the article we know that in the occupied West Bank, Israeli discrimination against Palestinians in the occupied territories, strict restrictions on the Palestinian people are clean, safe drinking water, the minimum livelihood needs of the Palestinians and the Israelis, an average of less than a quarter of water consumption. Amnesty says that on average Palestinian daily water consumption reaches 70 litres a day, compared with 300 litres for the Israelis. some Palestinians barely get 20 litres a day.( ¶ 4) In the Gaza Strip, the Israeli blockade of local water and sewage treatment system is in "very critical moment." "Israel must end its discriminatory policies, immediately lift all the restrictions it imposes on Palestinians' access to water." (¶ 9)
Even we are not in that country but we can imagist that if our country short of water, what we feel? We don’t have enough water to drink, we can’t take a shower and we can’t cook. How terrible? In my opinion, I think that everyone in the world has the right to have their basic living needs, no one can deprivation this right. Everyone should respect for human rights.

I agree with Alina that everybody have their right to have basic needs like clean water. Water is very important thing for human life. We need to use water in many activities through our life such as drinking, washing our bodies, cleaning things. Moreover, there are many researches showing that human can lack of food for a week but they cannot survive without clean water only a day. For these researches, we can see how important water is. Therefore, Israel deny to provide enough water to Palestinians is the action that should not be happened.
ReplyDeleteI think you concern about human rights as a result everyone should get amount of water, equally. Why have some countries still famine
ReplyDeleteif everyone in the world has the right about basic needs? For example, in Ethiopia, there are many people who lack of food while someone has food. If it was true, population in Ethiopia should totally either famine or healthy.
I agree with Alina that everyone have their right to have basic needs. And the most important for body is clean water that everyone should have enough clean water to drink and to do other thing such as take a bath and wash somethings. I think people can't survive without clean water because water is very important for your body and in the body will have water about 40-60%.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, it depends on what countries should use this method. In Palestia, Israel and Ethiopia, I think it is suitable to use this method because it is not fair for people who can not gain the basic needs. we should limit someone who can gain more than others and make everyone receiving all basic needs in the same level. However, in developed contries, we do not have to give people there the same level because they have ability to gain the basic needs by themselves
ReplyDeleteI think this is one of the ways of war. Israel use this strategy to control people who are Palestinians. This method will be the holocaust of Palestinians.
ReplyDeleteI like Kriss's comment: the Israeli acts do seem similar to a war tactic. Worse, because they are against a whole people, including civilians such as children and the sick, these acts seem like terrorism. The Israeli authorities are not blowing people up, but they are deliberately harming everyone to force acceptance of their political aims, and that sounds like terrorism to me, just like when the PAD seized and occupied Thailand's airport last year: that was not democracy, it was terrorism against millions of Thai people who were economically harmed by the PAD's selfish acts.
