Gaza’s destroyed sewage system linked to ‘rare’ algae bloom shutting Israeli desalination plants: Five of Israel’s six water plants shut as scientists probe whether Gaza wastewater fuelled the bloom (Middle East Eye, 2026-09-05)

Kidnapped from a tank, PTSD suicide because they ran a bulldozer over one too many dead bodies, and now their water supply is getting a small taste of what they inflicted on Gaza.
I use to think the people that use to say "Israel has nukes. If they wanted to genocide they would. This isn't genocide".
Which was always fucking stupid for the obvious problems of nuclear fallout and the global problem of using a nuke. But, man, we're getting to the brain rot levels of Israeli society that seems as though nothing is more important than making Palestinians suffer. Like, there is no doubt in my mind that Israel just sends all its nukes out before it would ever allow a free Palestine. That society is rotted to its fucking core and it should be treated as the global threat to all of humanity it is, along with any nation that supports it.

No doubt they'll invariably blame Palestinians for it & increase their bombing campaigns in retaliation to their "terrorism"
