"Examples of Israeli obstruction"

The "Examples of Israeli obstruction" section needs work. It is written from a POV perspective, uses POV terms like 'obstruction', and relies solely on a single source. Mattflaschen - Talk 04:11, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, according to [1] (cited in the article, although the section also copies from it which has to be cleaned up), since 2010 the Palestinian Authority has not approved water projects in Israeli settlements. So while it's clear the institution is completely dysfunctional, the obstruction is not all on the Israeli side. Mattflaschen - Talk 04:22, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Full Article

I completely agree with Mattflaschen. Furthermore, the article is clearly in violation of other [2](NPOV policies). There is a clear and total bias in sources, including the use of few serious studies, violating [3](this policy). Furthermore, the use of sources like "Palestinian Hydrology Group" and "Palestinian Water Authority" without any Israeli sources, despite their ubiquity (see for example this for an Israeli source's background on the JWC and here for an academic source conflicting with Selby's claims). The lack of balance in the article is alarming and should be remedied. Tayaravaknin - Talk 08:07, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
