Reply #38: someone's lying and B'tselem quotes from the Israeli Water Authority - why would they do that? [View All]

let's be fair - even though there are inequities - and there definitely are inequities which need to be addressed - when the substance of those reports critical of Israel are compared to the report from the Water Authority, the situation is nowhere near as dark, evil, or bleak as portrayed to western audiences - do you agree or not?

I see a pattern here throughout, and it's that anything that could put Israel in a better light is ignored while anything inflammatory against Israel is accepted without question - regardless of facts which contradict many of those claims. I don't see how such blatantly one-sided reporting by organizations contributes to peace - it appears to serve as useful and inflammatory propaganda (demonization) which the warmongering and regressive authorities in the W.Bank and Gaza (Fatah and Hamas) crave.

At the very least - if the situation is as bad as reported, shouldn't we expect to see Btselem, AI, and the WB reprimanding the Water Authority, making the Authority accountable for sharing honest and thorough facts, showing why the Water Authority isn't to be trusted, etc.....and thereby open the eyes of the Israeli population and electorate so that they can see to it that responsible and honest people are put in charge of a Water Authority that is so important to so many people?

If the Water Authority can't be trusted, why does Btselem quote from them? Can you find anything on google that would give you good reason to ignore the Water Authority? I can't.
