I spent the night in Susya, That's such a sad, but infuriating story. They were kicked out of their village. Now they live in a tent village, and there are over 20 demolition orders for their tents. These are tents. They are some of the kindest people I've ever met. We walked with their kids to school one morning (happened to be my birthday). The kids sang happy birthday to me, then proceeded to make me look foolish while playing soccer lol.
Jordan Valley is perhaps the most egregious issue that I saw. In most other places in the West Bank, the Israelis will simply expel a community, tear down their village, then build a new settlement on top of the remains. In the Jordan Valley, they are far more sinister. They build the settlement next to the village. These villages are all located around natural springs, which are their primary source of water. The settlement will then drill down into the water table and pump the water to their settlement. The spring will dry up, while sitting next to a lush green settlement. The IDF then shuts down roads so when the Palestinians inevitably have to have their water driven in, the cost skyrockets. We drove by several water tanks that had also been shot by the IDF. So what if the Palestinians just drill down to get water? Oh, the Israelis have addressed that. Palestinians cannot drill deeper than 150 meters. At 150 meters, the water is full of salt. Israelis can drill down as far as 800 m, where the water is usable.
This doesn't even address the massive date farms which suck much of the water away from the Palestinians. The settlers justify it by saying that this is a major source of jobs for the Palestinians, ignoring the fact that Palestinian workers make a fraction of what imported Thai workers make. Or the fact that most grazing land is being declared "military firing zone", leaving Palestinians with nowhere to graze their sheep. I met one man who continued to do so in an area declared a "preserve" by the IDF. So, in response, the IDF simply burned all the vegetation. We had an Israeli man showing us around, and the word he continued using was "ethnic cleansing". They're just clever about it by doing it without all the body bags. They're just making life a living hell to drive them away. It's evil.
