The Ofra WWTP

Ofra is one of the oldest Jewish settlements. Israeli leftwing organizations are harassing it from the beginning and had found a lever to cause problems in the environmental legislation. Ofra sewage, as the Palestinian villages around, flow into a deep wadi that ends in a stalactite cave deep on the limestone mountain aquifer. The sewage, no question about it, pollutes Israel's main water aquifer. The leftist NGOs (financed by European "environmentalists") focused on this issue and caused Wallenstein, the head the community, to be arrested for environmental crimes.

After a decade of harassment and torture, the small community of Ofra took large loans and at a cost of 10 million dollars built a medium-size wastewater treatment plant, designed to receive and treat the sewage of Ofra itself and the surrounding Arab villages. The treated water was to be used in irrigation mostly of the Palestinian fields. The plant was built and it is ready to operate and solve the real water pollution problem of the area. But...

The High Court of Justice yesterday forbade operating a sewage treatment plant built illegally on privately owned Palestinian land in the West Bank settlement of Ofra. The ruling came in response to a petition submitted by Yesh Din on behalf of residents of the Palestinian village of Ein Yabrud against building the plant on their land.

Of course, the main source of sewage, which is from the Arabs villages, has never been mentioned in the lawsuits - it is something "natural" as the droppings of wild fauna. Only Jewish sewage pollutes the Earth. Yesh Din (There is a Law, in Hebrew) is a Jewish organization financed by European donations.
