Why does Israel destroy livelihoods including access to water in illegally occupied territory? War criminals through and through.

SECRET GAS REPORT WA LABOR TRIED TO HIDE IS OUT! This is MASSIVE. A secret report the @RogerCookMLA government commissioned & then refused to release has been leaked. It completely undermines the WA government's claims it is "helping the world decarbonise" by exporting WA gas.
