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 Makarat, 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 rest.

Results are beginning to show.

In Argentina, 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.
