[Israel / Gaza] - The Destroying Self Poisons Its Own Water by Flattening the Other's Sewage
Event Baseline: Five of Israel's six desalination plants are offline, and experts warn untreated wastewater from Gaza's destroyed sewage system could be part of the problem. The collapse follows military damage to Gaza's water infrastructure.
The state self believed it could remove the other and remain untouched. It bombed the other's pipes and pumps, turning Gaza into a reservoir of raw waste. Now the sea does not recognize the border; the bacteria and chemicals flow back into the intake of the very desalination plants that sustain the cleansed self. This is the mechanical feedback of a system that assumes separation where none exists. The illusion of a self-contained body is fatal. The self has poisoned its own circulatory system while claiming victory over a neighbor. The only cure is to see that the body is one, and the wound in Gaza is a wound in the self.
