Water.
Everyone loves it. Everyone needs it.
So come to Israel, where Mekorot, Israel's National Water Company
makes sure that you have all the water you want
if you're of the correct ethnic-religious category.
And how does Mekorot guarantee that? By making sure all that water doesn't get wasted on
those who are NOT of the correct ethnic-religious category.
For you, if you're of the correct ethnic-religious category: 300 liters a day
For them: 70 liters a day. For you: continuous year round uninterrupted
flow. For them: rationing, restrictions, cutoffs
in dry months. Your towns pay 1.8 shekels per cubic meter.
Their towns pay 2.5 shekels per cubic meter.
Mekorot: Liquid Apartheid. In Israel, if you're of the correct ethnic-religious
category, you have civil rights, voting rights, take their land and build a settlement rights
and best of all, water rights. For those who are NOT of the correct ethnic-religious category,
Mekorot will pump the water from under their land, dry up their springs and wells and make
them pay for the water, and if they don't cooperate, we'll destroy their pipes and cisterns.
In fact they'll be lucky to get any water at all: if we don't admit their town is a
town, Mekorot won't connect them to the National Water Carrier System. All to guarantee your
three showers a day and your Ethnic Privilege discount if you're of the correct ethnic-religious
category. That's why we call Mekorot Apartheid in a Pipe.
And they're not stopping in Israel! Mekorot is making deals in Cyprus, Italy, Greece,
Brazil, Argentina, Uganda, the Netherlands, okay they were stopped in the Netherlands
and Uganda and Argentina but with your support, Mekorot can start privatizing water everywhere
and making sure that water is pure, clear and plenty: for those who can afford it.
So if you support apartheid, Israeli settlements, ethnic privilege, privatization of water and
natural resources, income inequality and everything else that makes YOU feel special, then join
Apartheid Adventures in saluting Mekorot: making sure water is a privilege, and only
for the privileged few.
