DESCRIPTION:Controlling the supply, distribution, and cost of water to an occupied 
 people is apartheid in action. Israel, through legal and illegal means, 
 maintains near-complete control over the region’s freshwater aquifers, 
 severely restricting Palestinians’ abilities to drill wells, install 
 pumps, build water tanks, or even collect rainwater. The average Israeli 
 consumes over 3 times the water used by Palestinian on the water grid in 
 the West Bank (9 times the water used by those off the grid). West Bank 
 Palestinians pay 1/3 or more of their income to Israeli companies for 
 drinking water. Meanwhile, Gazans are now consuming less than 3 liters per 
 day—hardly enough for survival.\n\nVoices from the Holy Land (VFHL) 
 offers three short videos describing the “hydropolitics” and structural 
 water apartheid in the Holy Land. Our panel discussion will explore 
 designed inequalities in water distribution; the physical, economic and 
 regulatory controls; as well as the ecological problems of pollution and 
 over-extraction.\n\nYou must register to join the discussion & receive 
 access to the films: Tinyurl.com/VFHL-March2024\n\nWatch the film at your 
 convenience before the event.  Then join us with your thoughts and 
 questions for our speakers at the Q&A Discussion.\n\nSpeakers: \n\nNancy
