Gaza sewage from Arabs threatens Israeli lives with disease and pollution

An open pool of sewage is seen in the garbage-filled Wadi Gaza area of the central Gaza Strip.

An open pool of sewage is seen in the garbage-filled Wadi Gaza area of the central Gaza Strip. Looks like kids in the background are celebrating and playing there.

The Arabs in Israel are not only barbaric, cruel, and violent but also live in filth and disease… and they are spreading it to other parts of Israel.

Gaza’s ongoing sewage problem is getting worse, experts warn, and the consequences could have direct impact on the lives of Israelis

For decades, Gaza’s inadequate waste treatment system has been a burden both to Gaza residents and neighboring countries on the Mediterranean coast.

Because streets filled with sewage is acceptable to the Arabs? In any normal civilized city, this would be a catastrophe!

With a rapidly growing population, years of neglect have caught up with Gaza’s infrastructure, which has benefited little from regular transfers or building materials via Israel, or the massive international injections of cash to develop the area. Instead, Hamas authorities have siphoned much of those materials into either their massive military build up – including a vast complex of attack and smuggling tunnels – or to build grand government buildings.

A waste treatment plant, built with $100 million of foreign aid, has been largely inactive. The Hamas terror group, which dominates the Gaza Strip, has failed to allocate electricity to operate the facility, letting raw waste simply dump into the Mediterranean or seep into the ground, polluting underground aquifers, harming the local water supply.

How could anyone live this way? And the so-called Arab “leaders” (Fatah and Hamas) in Gaza think this is perfectly okay.

At times, the raw waste simply overflows, flooding populated areas. In 2007 raw sewage flooded a town in north Gaza, drowning five.

Hamas, which diverts much of the building materials flowing into the Strip for use in constructing terror tunnel networks along the Israeli and Egyptian borders, has done little to alleviate the situation.

Sure, let your kids play in sewage together. What could possibly go wrong?

While the new water treatment plant, if activated, could greatly improve the situation, the Hamas regime’s refusal to pay for electricity transfers has limited the power supply, which is shunted to other uses, including a series of luxury hotels. Bickering between Hamas and the PLO government have hamstrung efforts to expand Gaza’s electricity supply.

A large portion of Gaza’s excess waste simply pours into the sea – at the rate of millions of gallons per day.

Just wheel that trash through the sewage with your donkey… bring the kid along while you’re at it.

In recent months that overflow of raw sewage has reached southern Israeli beaches, shutting down Israel’s desalination plant in Askhelon on several occasions.

But experts warn the threat to Israel goes far beyond disrupting Israel’s water infrastructure.

It’s a good thing they put their clothes out to dry next to the sewage in the street. I bet they smell amazing!

Gideon Bromberg, an environmental activist, warned that the flood of Gazan sewage into the Mediterranean could ruin Israel’s beaches, rendering them unfit for bathing. They would share the same fate of many Gaza beaches which have been contaminated and turned into festering waste dumps.

Bromberg added that diseases included cholera and typhoid could also spread into Israel from Gaza’s sewage overflows.

“There’s 101 different ways for these bacterium to be transferred,” Bromberg told AP.
