Crucial Israeli System Is Literally Collapsing - But Not Because Of Rockets
Right, so, five of Israel’s six major Mediterranean desalination plants had been shut down after an algae bloom clogged the seawater intakes of the plants. Five out of six. How could this have happened, is this the next Biblical plague after the bees and the rats that I covered the other day? No rocket had been fired. No Iranian missile had flattened the crucial machinery. No Houthi drone had given an unexpectedly accurate survey of Israel’s water resources. Only a bunch of green pond scum, which, as far as causing Israel significant problems, effectively has better aim than half the region's artillery. Now it should be said that since the worst of this, plants have been brought back online, so it's not like Israeli taps are all spitting out green stringy muck, and Benjamin Netanyahu hasn’t been reduced to brushing his teeth while swishing imported Evian in his mouth-but give it some time perhaps, because the problem hasn’t exactly gone away either. And whilst it might seem a bit trivial, this is actually a pretty significant thing. Of the six major plants which supply Israel with water from the sea, five went offline at the same time. Karma some might argue after they took out so many desalination plants in Gaza. If this doesn't qualify as a crucial system collapsing, what exactly are we waiting for? Bibi going about in the street with a saucepan to catch rainwater for his morning coffee?
