Israel: The Jihad Against the Jews
South African President Jacob Zuma
Day Zero is rapidly approaching in Cape Town, South Africa. When Day Zero arrives, Cape Town will become the world’s first major city to run out of water. The people of Cape Town should blame South Africa’s corrupt government. The government of South Africa has chosen to appease the anti-Semitic BDS movement, and its growing Muslim population, by refusing to accept any help from Israel. Despite Israel being the world leader (by far) in water recycling, water preservation, water desalination, and drip irrigation, South Africa’s government has stubbornly refused to work with Israel. Pro-jihad President Jacob Zuma, who has ties to Hamas, would rather watch his citizens die of thirst before accepting help from Israel.
Israel, a country that is over 60 percent desert, is now the world’s preeminent water power. Israel has proudly shared its water expertise and technology with 150 countries, including many Muslim-majority countries in Africa. Israel’s water expertise has also been invaluable to Asia, particularly in countries such as India, China, and Vietnam. In late 2015, dozens of ecologists from 10 Latin American countries came to Israel to learn about Israel’s mastery of desalination and drip irrigation. In the United States, Israel’s cooperation with California, Nevada, Colorado, and many other states, has produced incredible results. Even the “Palestinian” Authority has benefited when working with Israel on water conservation. Israel has also provided water technology and training to Egypt and Jordan.
In 2016, South Africa was in the middle of their devastating drought, which was sure to cause the water crisis we are seeing today. Naturally there was significant discussion among certain South African officials about contacting the world’s leading water power (Israel) for help. In February 2016, a water conference was scheduled to take place in Johannesburg. The purpose of the conference was to provide South Africa with much needed education and assistance on issues related to water conservation. Unfortunately, the BDS movement then went in for the kill and successfully lobbied the South African government to cancel the water conference due to Israel’s participation.
Members of the BDS movement in South Africa used their hatred for Israel to jeopardize the well-being of their country and their fellow citizens. A spokesman for the BDS movement stated that “the rug has been pulled from the Israeli ambassador, who will be able to exploit our very serious water crisis for his own cheap publicly and whitewashing of his regime. Israel water technology is not unique or special; such technology is widely available through other more friendly countries.” Oh really? Well, two years after that statement by the BDS representative, South Africa’s water crisis is raging, with no end in sight.
This disgraceful decision was not a surprise, as South Africa’s growing Muslim population has made South Africa a flagship country for the BDS movement. In the last few months alone, the BDS movement has been able to win some significant victories. They were able to convince the Tshwane University of Technology to boycott and divest from Israel. In late 2017, South Africa also shamelessly downgraded relations with Israel, a move that the BDS movement applauded gleefully. Despite all of this mistreatment and abuse, the government of Israel continues to offer help, to which they are receiving an answer of “no, thanks” from hostile ANC officials.
So what can the 3.7 million inhabitants of Cape Town expect on April 12, 2018, aka Day Zero? Well, water resources are expected to hit 13 percent capacity. Citizens of Cape Town will be required to travel to one of 200 water collection points, where they will only be able to collect 25 liters of water at best. The water crisis does not even begin to describe the economic impact on the South African city, since many tourists will likely stay away. Many other industries will certainly suffer as well.
The citizens of South Africa should to ask their corrupt and stubborn government some questions. For example, what would have happened if the government of South Africa had accepted help from Israel during the initial stages of this drought? Could this water crisis have been avoided if the South African President had been more concerned about his country and its people than he was about appeasing his Muslim supporters and the BDS movement? One must also ask if the UN will hold the government of South Africa accountable for this blatant corruption and disregard for its own people?
This catastrophe should also be a lesson to the people who support the BDS movement. The lesson is this: Support the BDS movement at your own peril, because it is your countries, your citizens, your schools, and your businesses that will suffer. Israel, on the other hand, will continue to thrive, as more and more countries (especially in Africa) realize the value of having solid relations with the tiny Middle Eastern country.

That asshole President Jacob Zuma should be the first one to die of thirst, followed by the members of the BDS organization.
Have you EVER seen such fucking stupidity in your life?
Dear Friend Buzz: Talk about shooting one self in the foot.
Maybe that is how Mr. Zuma will ultimately be defeated (de-feeted).
How many of the good people of South Africa must suffer in the mean time?
They rose up, under the wise leadership of Nelson Mandela to overcome in a peaceful manner the damage done in times past before he ran this country.
Hopefully, another Mandela type can turn this around, before it is too late.
E.
I am betting that he has all the water he needs.
I assume you mean for his personal use.
Sadly,,, such behavior isn't even rare. Palestinian "leaders" have put their own interests ahead of their people since... forever. Lots of red states have refused the Obamacare Medicaid extension (to the detriment of the people) for dogmatic motives. ... And a zillion other examples.
How Israel is solving the global water crisis:
Israel leading a water revolution in arid California
Although it doesn't say so directly, the implication is that Poseidon Water used IDE Technologies RO filters and/or designs to build the San Diego facility which opened a year before the
business conference.
Good news, good technology, but hardly a revolution and only a very small percentage of eastern Southern CA an be described as "arid".
Just sayin'
Although Poseidon Water won't admit it because it takes away from their pride, the Israeli groundbreaking company provided the design and the know-how for the project. Just about the only mention it gets is in Wikipedia:
Good grief man, IDE was one of hundreds of contractors on the project.
There's no conspiracy to deprive Sydney Loeb or anyone else of their contributions to science.
Well, SP, it seems to me that where the process was invented, the company that created the very process itself and designed the whole project, COULD be ALMOST as important as the company that now owns the plant, and deserved a LITTLE more credit than a tiny reference in Wikipedia. Of course, there are some people who MIGHT be OFFENDED if such information were publicized.
Do you know who Sydney Loeb is and where he was born?
He literally invented the material ( a semi osmotic membrane ) with S Souriajan in
1959
at the University of Southern California, which makes RO possible.
He is the father of reverse osmosis.
He was born in Missouri, USA and holds many US patents for his inventions.
In 1967 he moved to Israel and attained dual citizenship and devoted the rest of his life to perfecting RO and
since it can generate a significant amount of heat, developing ways to recapture and use the heat as well.
I won't apologize for any of Wikipedia's shortcomings but it would seem that since it's an open platform created by Wiki's own users
anyone or any citizen of Israel can get online and add to the particular Wiki page that you seem to be offended by.
Please note that Srinivasa Sourirajan does not appear to have any WIKI page at all...although his text book on RO is still available on Amazon.
Maybe because he wasn't an American citizen?
Only Wikipedia had any reference to IDE but that was not my complaint. Other publicity or web sites concerning the plant don't mention IDE. I don't think Loeb was directly involved in the construction of the San Diego plant so I wouldn't expect a reference to him, but IDE's input was crucial.
Except, that as I tried to point out to you, that statement is inaccurate.
An American, born in Missouri, invented the process in 1959 in California, before emigrating to Israel in 1967 to assist their fledgling desalinization industry.
You can laud Loeb's Jewishness all you want, but IDE is just a contractor on a project.
Here at least IDE was mentioned in this article, but I don't think for a moment that anyone in CA worries about the nationalities of some of the contractors who won a bid to provide their tap water.
I had no idea who Loeb was. My first comment was just to say that the designer of the plant, the company that DESIGNED it to use the RO system that is the major factor in the desalination of seawater, was NOT EVEN mentioned in the articles that I saw. I didn't need to know that the painter who painted the walls of the offices (as you said, the HUNDREDS of contractors) was MORE important than the company that used its system in the design.
You made a mountain out of a molehill, the molehill being my mention of the omission.
Nahhh, just trying to give credit where it is due, when it is due.
From Poseidon's website and press releases;
and yet when it came time to recognize engineering..
Santa Barbara is 100% an IDE Americas project and I wish they would go public, it would be a good stock to own.
But I don't see any deliberate snub to IDE based on religion or where their headquarters is located.
Okay, I'm convinced, and agree with you - I was probably overly sensitive. In fact I thank you for your not giving up on your opinion.
Thank you Buzz, it sent me one a mission to learn more instead of participating in some of the back biting political nonsense of the day.
It turns out that IDE's contributions to Carlsbad will reduce the electric consumption by 40% which is a major contribution.
Think of the way a turbo charger uses an engine's own exhaust to build internal pressure to boost horsepower.
IDE installed 144 "devices" which use the 'normal' high pressure seawater ejections (normal to RO) to increase the new seawater/brine intake without electrical pumps,
thus reducing the # of pumps, electrical demands and reducing the carbon footprint.
It would certainly be worth seeing some day.
I think they're yet to allow tours.
This is usually an Arab/Muslim disorder, but here we have an entity that would rather suffer than accept help from a Jew?
To paraphrase my usual comment:
Not all people are bad, but all of the people who rule these people are.
Where is a link to the source of this, um, seeded material?
Okay, I have found the source -
The Geller Report is the source of this seed. The Geller Report is a product of Pamela Geller.
You are really good at ignoring and denying facts and just attacking the source aren't you. Well, okay, here's another source, written more than a week before the Pamela Geller one.
No comment on the actual story, just trying to de-rail this to your own personal agenda. Again, you aren't on Newsvine anymore. Try to remember that.
That's because he is totally incapable of doing anything around here but voice his prejudice against sources that are contrary to his politics, notwithstanding the actual irrefutable facts provided by such sources (which he cannot deny). I think that most intelligent members here will realize eventually that whatever he has to say should be ignored.
You'll notice he disappeared. That's what some undesireable members do when they can't admit their errors, apologize, and don't have the integrity to admit that they were wrong about something. His criticism of an article being on a Pamela Geller site was to indicate that it was biased, but of course that's not the point, such a inference was also to say that the facts cannot be taken seriously, and since the facts are irrefutable, that's where his method is childish.
I suppose there is no lack of idiotic world leaders these days.
As an aside, I am a little surprised that that world wide potable water situation does not get more press. It may very well be the end of humanity in the future, it effects every Country to one degree or another and will only worsen.
In 1999 a client of mine published a book warning of the impending world water crisis. That was 18 years ago. His name is Marq de Villiers. Check out his highly acclaimed books - they are "Water" and "Water Wars".
Thomas Robert Malthus more or less came to this conclusion over 200 years ago. Although his theory regarded overpopulation rather than water, they are intertwined, just manifesting itself in arid Countries (and areas) for the moment.
At the expense of seeming boorish, the seeming lack of attention that the media gives this crisis is because it's the plight of mostly non-white people.
It's a cause clebre for people like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet and Bono and Matt Damon, but other than that, it's lip service.
Nope, not boorish at all.
Somewhat refreshing to hear a truth speaker. It will most likely go the way of the ebola and zika viruses, once a few white folks begin to get a bit parched it will become a world wide crisis (even though it already is).
I find it appalling that the "leadership" of this country would rather let the crisis happen in their country than accept help form Israel. Supplying water technology to countries is a humanitarian act. No one is asking them to sign an oath of allegiance to Israel before being allowed to drink. Cutting off the nose to spite the face comes to mind. Idiots.
I wonder how many people are going to die because of BDS and that ignoramus Zuma.
but it was such a great thing when the bad old government was forced out years ago and now the people will suffer worse than back then
