Oh, please...don't state facts?
It's a fact that the Palestinians have not fully developed all the water supplies they have and do not pull the full amount they are entitled to under the Oslo Accords. They also lose large amounts of water to leaky pipes. They also have no "grey water" system and refuse to use grey water.
And Israel doesn't go in to the West Bank and steal the water. If flows naturally into Israel from there.
But I guess it's more convenient to say...the average Israeli has x times as much water as the average Palestinians or that Palestinians must buy water off Israelis (at a reduced rated, which was negotiated under the Oslo Accords).
It actually may all be a moot point anyways. Israel has invented a desalination process which will soon be cheaper than piping in water.
