A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

This in itself is actually pretty normal - banning rainwater collection is mainly to stop people from collecting so much rainwater that they cause environmental issues. At least that'swhy it's banned in many places in the US. If it's really banned in Gaza "because rain is the property of the Israel" then that's absolutely wild, though.
This may be the least oppressive and weird law the Israelis have restricting the rights of Palestinians, at least until they deliberately destroyed civilian water infrastructure. But then, I don't think enforcing rainwater collection bans is exactly at the top of the Israeli military's checklist right now.
Is that the reason why imprisoned Indigenous First Nation people in the Federal Reserves of Western European diaspora need to drink poisoned water until they forfeit their property ownership and right for reparations from the 150 years of child enslavement, illegal human child experimentation, savage indoctrination, mass murder which is disguised as "cultural genocide", inheritance thief, and mismanagement of First Nation people's funding in the Indian Residential fake schools?
Probably not, no. It's a type of rarely-enforced law that relates to water conservation and (primarily) preventing large scale farmers from removing tens of thousands of tons of water from local ecosystems to water crops, thereby preventing natural recharging of aquifers, etc.
