Are you thinking of, like, the Straits of Hormuz?

Generally, in English, "waters" refers to bodies of water.

The poster whose analysis you are challenging said "water." That word, in that construction, generally means "the stuff people drink and put on plants."

Just curious whether you and the poster to whom you responded are on the same page.

Because I'm thinking the other poster was talking about a desire on the part of Israel to control the fresh water in the region.

Also, are you sure that the fact that you've not heard of something is dispositive?

off to surrounding areas that may have had access for decades.

Water is the the rarest resource in the area, especially with increasing population pressure on the finite sources. Water wars in this part of the Middle East are nothing new. Whomever controls it controls the entire area. Israel has no legitimate claim on the water resources in the West Bank, Gaza or Southern Lebanon, but you can be damn sure they're taking it and controlling it making sure their illegal settlements get it first. That is not antisemitism in its point. It's anti fascist.

doing war things so they don't have to face justice in their own countries.

At least that is how I remember it. It would go to the dungeon or some such

Nice to have dialogue about it now
