      People take it to the logical extreme by converting large tracts in water catching systems. Not an issue if a few do it but it usually isn’t just a few. It starts depleting aquifers and rivers, causing damage to the ecosystem and communities down the way. Doesn’t even need to be water scarce areas either.

        Hamas is only in Gaza. This is a West Bank thing where the Israeli government imposing it’s own civil laws is a war crime.

                The West Bank is nominally run by the Palestinian Authority. However it is occupied by the Israeli Army and Israeli settlers are using colonial age tactics to push out the Palestinians with the backing of the Army. One of those tactics is to claim an area that includes a water source and dam it.

            I mean, you’re right that there is an organization terrorizing West Bank. They are also terrorizing Gaza. And a lot of what they are doing serves as pro-Hamas propaganda.
