Palestine for Dummies on Telegram by GRT : Learn more about Gaza - Israel conflict with science and facts

The Israeli government designated Gaza as ‘hostile territory’ on 9 September 2007 and announced that it would follow only the laws of armed con ict, not those of occupation, vis-à-vis the Gaza Strip.80 As a result of the extensive targeting of civilian infrastructures during these periods of conflict, we argue, the civilian population of the Gaza Strip has increasingly been treated as a collective casualty of armed conflict.

The UN Human Rights Council (HRC) reported that in July and August 2014, 63 water facilities in Gaza were damaged and 23 completely destroyed, resulting in a significant loss of access to water for the population.84 Likewise, the HRC found that the war had damaged sewage facilities, including 60 per cent of the treatment plants, 27 per cent of the pumping stations and 33,000 metres of water and wastewater networks, affecting nearly one million people

Consequently, the UN found that ‘access to safe drinking water in Gaza through the public water network plummeted from 98.3 per cent in 2000 to a mere 10.5 per cent in 2014, compared to almost 97 per cent in the West Bank’

Since then, Gazans have relied on purchasing water from tankers, and in containers and bottles. Dependence on these sources, all of which are more expensive, increased from 1.4 per cent to 89.6 per cent in 2017, the burden falling disproportionately on the most vulnerable and poor; moreover, the quality of water is unregulated and of questionable standard

Humanitarian efforts to augment water supply are hampered by restrictions imposed by Israel and Egypt on the import of materials to support the construction of desalination plants, as discussed in more detail below

In efforts to halt the sustained targeting of agriculture, water and energy infrastructures, Israeli and Palestinian human rights and civil rights groups have frequently invoked provisions of IHL and international human rights law that apply to occupying powers regarding the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure

University of New Hampshire: In both the West Bank and Gaza Strip, we have found that Israeli control over infrastructure, construction, land use and movement undermines civilian welfare even as these effects are ‘walled o ’—literally and in public discourse—from the Israeli public and, increasingly, from the international community. Our findings show how the systematic targeting of the water, energy and agriculture sectors is an important feature of the evolving ‘occupation regime’ that directly undermines the ability of Palestinians to stay in place. Direct and indirect forms of targeting have persisted and intensi ed in the time period under consideration, helping to create a humanitarian crisis in Gaza and a fragmented, donor-dependent series of encircled enclaves in the West Bank. Targeting infrastructures that support water and energy supplies, and agricultural and fishing livelihoods, has made Palestinian places increasingly less habitable and Palestinian civilian life increasingly precarious.

Limits on imports of fuel to Gaza led to court cases between human rights organizations and the Israeli government. The Israeli HCJ ruled in three decisions between 2007 and 2008 that Israel could cut fuel supplies from previously estab- lished levels to those meeting only ‘essential humanitarian needs’.93 Human rights organizations argued that such decisions amounted to an illegal collective punishment, violating IHL, and also overlooked the fact that energy is essential to a functioning economy and ordinary civilian livelihoods

The relationship between Hamas and Israel, especially under Prime Minister Netanyahu, has remained fraught, with recurrent periods of violent conflict in 2008–2009, 2012, 2014 and 2018.

Global Terrorism Index by MENA Country

MENA countries differ greatly in their levels of development and hence in the needs of their populations. A first group of MENA countries is constituted by highly unstable regions such as Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. In these areas, regaining stability and security is the utmost priority.

Country averages in the MENA region, where data are available, is 5.8. The highest scores are those of the UAE (7.3), followed by Israel (7.0). Nevertheless, all scores remain much lower than the highest score worldwide (8.5) (Clifton 2012).

Similarly, the rankings of 85 countries in the World Happiness Report of 2013 indicated that people in the MENA region generally experienced low levels of happiness. Some exceptions were Israel, which ranked 11th, followed by the UAE(14th) and some of the small Gulf countries; Oman (23rd), Qatar (27th), Kuwait (32nd) and Saudi Arabia (33rd). Bahrain (79th) and Libya (78th) fell in the quartile of low-happiness countries.

Using the Fragile States Index 2014,7 countries are ranked into 11 groups, ranging from “very high alert” to “very sustainable.” Sudan is in the “high alert” category; three MENA countries (Yemen, Iraq, and Syria) are also in the “high alert” group; Egypt is in the “alert” group; Libya, Iran, and Lebanon are in the “very high warning” group; Israel, Algeria, Tunisia, Jordan, Morocco, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia in the “high warning” group; Bahrain is in the “warning” group; Kuwait and Oman are in the* group; and Qatar and the UAE are in the “stable” group. None of MENA countries is found in the “very stable” category.

Using the Corruption Perceptions Index, which ranks countries and territories on how corrupt their public sector is perceived to be (on a scale of 0–100, where 0 = highly corrupt; 100 = very clean), data show that the UAE (69), Qatar (68), Israel (61), and Turkey (50) are the least corrupt in the region. The most corrupt are Sudan (11), Libya (15), Iraq (16), and Syria (17)

Let we remember this discrimination for IT! where such people can get more wage, just because they are selling products to other countries, WHILE ALL OTHER PEOPLE IN UKRAINE HAVE A LOW WAGE! So don't believe that just because IT wage is high ... all is perfect!

The exact same 💩 IT discrimination happens in Europe! for people that are doing pretty bad work ... just look how 💩 most IT services, apps and services are without even fixing that. With that, we don't say all IT are shit! there are (few) good services and devs too, but MANY IT ARE JUST OVEREVALUTATED FOR THEIR BAD WORK THEY DO! (not related to Ukraine, but in general!) If they are the first one not using and testing their services. We are not talking as baby - average user (since such users don't see all such 💩 IT is doing ... or they see just in part), but as huge extreme user with high requests / usages and complex workflows.

So first, it's time to STOP OVERPAYING people for doing 💩 low quality job! If they do a good job, we wouldn't see just technology DOWNGRADES! everywhere, without implementing real good features that improve workflows. They are even the first one IGNORING such requests! Exactly like Telegram, Google, Apple, and 800+ devs etc. ignored almost all our requests, continuing to provide same exact limitations, errors, missing features, etc.

WHICH IS A SHAME! and the same is happening inside hospitals etc. too! offering just time wasting software ... instead of productivity focused softwares / features ...

Reality of IT devs? MANY OF THEM ARE EVEN SCAMMERS! which do crimes over crimes, but no one is talking about. We already taken actions against different IT who scammed us too.

Conclusion: STOP OVERPAYING PEOPLE and REMEMBER POVERTY! because wars just make things worse!

Again, debts are increasing even in Palestine due to this war. We are simply DESTROYING THE FEW THINGS THEY OWN!
