Yet your government under bush, supported a regime that used water in an attempt to destroy a nation.

'Israel's vast separation wall slices Nazlet Isa off from one of the richest water sources in the arid northern West Bank where the fight for water is a fight for survival.
Israel is believed to monopolise about 75% of Palestinian water resources in a region where rainfall is infrequent and water a strategic asset.
In the agriculture-dependent Palestinian territories, hemmed in by Jewish settlements, the lack of resources causes havoc for farmers, while pollution and inadequate waste disposal create manifold sanitation and health problems.
In the northern West Bank town of Nazlet Isa, giant concrete slabs 10 metres high - lambasted as an apartheid wall by the Palestinians - have left six homes stranded on the Israeli side along with the rich underground aquifer.'

Could this be a case of the biter bit?
