I know this may come as a shock to you and Mr. Churchill but it was their land, they wanted to do to it what they wanted..not what you or Mr. Churchill or the Zionists wanted. And the reality is that the land can't support what Israel has done to it and so the Israelis are running very short of water. That's why they are stealing.....I mean borrowing water from the West Bank. Funny, how very near sighted you are that you can't see the forest for the trees.

Churchill, in the early 20s, pointed out that it was good not only for the Jews but for the Arabs who lived in Palestine -- as they would "share" in the benefits of Zionism. When Churchill was bashed in the House of Commons regarding Jewish hydroelectric projects, he said words to the effect of (paraphrasing):

"the Arabs would never have done this for themselves, not in a 1000 years. They would have been happy to live on the wasted land allowing the water from the river to simply flow into the Dead Sea."

Nobody who has even a vague knowledge of the history of this region would expect that the Palestinians would ever have undertaken to generate electricity and irrigate these regions. Churchill was exactly right.
