A communique on sabotaging Zionist infrastructure: shutting down Friends of the IDF
“On November 5th, the Zionist fascist scum, ‘Friends of the IDF’ who represent the interests of wealthy American capitalists in their direct support of the settler colonial state of Israel and its continued campaign of genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people, attempted to hold a fundraiser gala ...
“You cannot do damage to the Zionist project by merely engaging with its facade; you must strike at its soulless heart. You must strike at its veins (supply chains, logistics, cash flows, infrastructure). 
“While the liberals were congratulating themselves for having their nonthreatening photo op parade out in front of the gala, our people were out of sight at work on the veins of the building. Palestinians have suffered decades of Israeli soldiers and settlers restricting and destroying their access to water, often bricking up or concreting any water source not directly under strict control of the occupation forces, cutting off Palestinian access to the Jordan River while draining it to near extinction for settlement mono-crop agriculture, shooting holes in Palestinian water towers, bombing Gazan water treatment facilities, poisoning Palestinian springs and enforcing water apartheid in order to exert total control over Palestinian life. We decided to give these Zionist bootlickers a taste of their own medicine.
“We cracked open the water main for the building housing the gala, switched it off, and filled the box with fresh concrete. This form of sabotage is quick and incredibly easy to replicate, and the tools are quite cheap. It also renders the building in question completely uninhabitable and unusable. We had a good laugh imagining these fascist motherfuckers driven out of the gala by the stench of overflowing toilets, unable to raise any more money for genocide. As we did we were reminded of how Israeli settlers flood Palestinian olive groves with sewage, poisoning food sources, destroying livelihoods.”

"but hamas is getting funded by extremist islamic hate groups!" do you think the U.S. government and military giving funding for israeli's war efforts against palestinians is a morally neutral and inherently righteous body that had no influence in the politics of southwest asia as a global colonial superpower. do you really think anything you can say about the people resisting oppression can't be said about the oppressors.

Israel Military Orders 58, 92, 158, and 291, issued between 1967 and 1968, give absolute control over all issues concerning water issues in the West Bank and Gaza to the Israeli army, prevent the construction of any new water installations without a permit at risk of confiscation, allow arbitrary rejection of applications for said permits, and nullify any previous arrangements concerning water resources. In 2017, fifty years after the first of these proclamations, Amnesty International reported some 90-95 percent of Gaza’s water was “unfit for human consumption.”  Freshwater transfers from the West Bank, along which the Jordan River runs, could ameliorate this situation, but they are prohibited. Instead, Mekorot, a state-owned Israeli water company, has been allowed to cultivate its own expansive water system that redirects the vast majority of these resources to Israel and its illegal settlements in the West Bank. Additionally, the Israeli army uses military training and exercises as a pretense to displace Palestinians in the West Bank and take control of water sources, leaving many rural communities with no access to water. A May 2023 report reveals Israelis enjoy 247 liters of water a day per person while Palestinians use 82.4 liters per person, but in rural communities that number plummets to 26 liters (“much like the average in disaster zones”). In 2020, the report finds, Israelis consumed ten times the water Palestinians in the West Bank did despite having a population that is only three times larger. Ninety-two percent of Palestinians store water in rooftop containers in the event of shortages.

Water they thinking?
Water they thinking?
Besides cutting off the water to Gaza, and bombing the infrastructure, the water pump facilities, Israel claims that Palestinians have no water rights, that the water, including rain belongs to Israel. Meaning it is illegal, under Israel occupation for Palestinians to even collect rainwater.
Palestinians are forbidden from gathering rainwater.
Source: a UN report: ‘according to Israeli military orders in effect in the area, rain is the property of the Israeli authorities and thus Palestinians are forbidden from gathering rain water for domestic or agricultural needs.’
As well as prohibiting nearly all construction of wells necessary for Palestinians to secure additional quantities of water to support population growth and socio-economic development, such policies have denied communities access to water and sanitation facilities, including water, toilets, sewage networks and cisterns for rainwater harvesting.’

PLEASE HELP DONATE FOR WATER WELL CONSTRUCTION IN GAZA ORGANISED BY SYEIKH MOHAMMED AL GHOUL
Bismillah,
Syeikh Mohammed Al Ghoul is a person my family is very close with since he came to Indonesia. He, along with my family, founded a non-profit organisation to support Syeikh's family, the Gazan foreign students in Indonesia, and of course his people and the homeland he hailed from.
Syeikh Mohammed Al Ghoul is currently based in Indonesia, West Java. Born in Gaza January 1998, he is the ninth child out of eleven children. Sent by his parents to Indonesia to receive a scholarship in 2018 to help his family and homeland achieve freedom and self-determination, Syeikh Mohammed is currently doing his bachelor's degree thesis. Now, he is on the way to propose a water well construction in Gaza to recover and help rebuild Gaza from Israel's continued military aggression, property destruction, occupation, forced starvation, and never-ending killing of Gazans.
The proposal that he made:

Mekorot, a major player in Israeli water desalination, has been able to position itself as a leader in water desalination and solutions globally, partly through Israel’s greenwashing narrative. For example, Mekorot is responsible for 40 percent of Cyprus’s seawater desalination. Its technology and ‘expertise’ generate millions of dollars in revenue from water solutions projects developed across the world, particularly in the global South. This money finances its, and the Israeli government’s, practice of water apartheid against the Palestinian people, with Mekorot playing a significant role in building Israeli water apartheid infrastructure, controlling most of the Palestinian water resources in the West Bank and diverting them to illegal Israeli settlements (In addition to the company’s role in usurping the Jordan River). The company’s infrastructure of wells and bypass pipelines is built in such a way as to ensure that Palestinians living in Area C of the West Bank have no access to water, while, at the same time, it helps the Israeli military to confiscate Palestinian water pipelines and other alternative means to access water in Area C. By practising water apartheid, Mekorot creates a coercive environment that aims to force Palestinians from their land and expand Israeli illegal settlements. Mekorot’s active enforcement of Israeli water apartheid policies disrupt the function of the land as a source of subsistence through which Palestinians can sustain their life and identity in relation to land. It threatens the Palestinian agricultural sector and food sovereignty, which are essential components of a just agricultural transition. For instance, Palestinian farming communities in the Jordan Valley are no longer able to rely on agriculture for their livelihoods due to Israeli restrictions on Palestinian access to water and land.
