Well, my post wasn't meant to make 'it all about water' now, if that's what you mean. The purpose was to show the relevancy of a rather small disputed area that is currently the main reason Hezbollah still looks at Israel as a force of occupation. The Palestinians have similar conflicts: water means life and business.
I would say that if it is considered the main reason, that’s pretty much making it all about water -- isn’t it?
Only a radical faction desires the expansion you refer to.
Desires? You mean has achieved, don’t you?
"The Dune Messiah?"
* 75% of the Occupied West Bank & Gaza Strip renewable water resources are used by Israel.
* Three million Palestinians are allowed to use 250 million cubic meters per annum (83 cubic meters for each Palestinian per year) while six million Israelis enjoy the use of 2.0 billion cubic meters (333 cubic meter for each Israeli per year), which means that one Israeli consumes as much water as do four Palestinians. Each Israeli settler is allocated 1,450cubic meters of water per year.
* The World Health Organization's recognized minimum of domestic water consumption is 100 liters per capita per day. The current domestic water supply for Palestinians is only 57-76 liters per capita per day.

Israel is doing fine and needs no expansion but it does want to keep its local adversaries weak and divided.
Yes, Israel is doing just fine and dandy. Isn’t it the issue of such fineness that’s in question?
But all Hebrew tribes have this inclination to stubbornly survive and keep fighting for what they believe in. It's one great incestuous drama over there.
Yes. So, would you consider the US as an Hebrew tribe as its only staunch supporter? Or are we merely waiting for the second coming of Christ once this is all over?
