Israeli Water Control in Latin America
Is the Israeli company that's buying water contracts in Latin America
the same company that is stealing water from Palestinians and
diverting it to illegal Israeli settlements?
The answer, of course, is yes. Israeli encroachment in
Latin America is becoming a major problem as their ethnic
enclaves grow in both size and quantity, gaining in both
influence and power as they go, and they've shown to be
absolutely unwilling to share with the locals.
Quiet deals, foreign experts, local water
systems handed over piece by piece, and at the center of almost
every one of them sits the same company.
That company is Mekorot, Israel's national water
company, the same company accused of starving
Palestinian
communities of water while diverting that water to their own
illegal settlements. Israel's national water company locking
down
contracts across Latin America, contracts that hand them control
over aquifers, master plans, and water distribution
while locals lose say over their own resources.
Locals say that the pattern is clear.
First the water, then everything that depends on it.
Farming and crops, livestock, drinking water for towns and
villages, Indigenous communities' survival,
local economies
that run on irrigation, controlled by a foreign entity
known for displacing the people of the countries they invade.
And the results are beginning to show.
In Argentina's southern provinces, water data once held by local
governments now sits with a foreign company.
In Chihuahua, protests erupted after a cooperation deal
opened the door to Israeli private firms writing the rules on
tariffs and distribution. Both farmers and Indigenous communities
say the same thing. When the contracts land,
decisions about who
gets the water and who doesn't quietly move out of their hands.
Control first, and consequences later.
The implications are simple everywhere they go.
Control the water, control the food, the towns, the future,
which is the same blueprint they use in Palestine.
Now the model is being exported, and the leaders?
They're not stopping it. Instead, they're taking trips to Israel,
signing the
deals, smiling for the cameras, and kissing their wall.
What started as quiet influence in the United States is now repeating
itself in Latin America from north to south, positioning
itself to own the hemisphere's most basic resource, one
aquifer at a time.
