Arab and Iranian media are claiming that Jews poisoned a spring in Qaryut, near Shiloh.
Israeli settlers on Friday intentionally polluted the water of a spring in the West Bank village of Qaryout, north of Nablus, Anadolu Agency reported.“The settlers raided the area, broke the lock of the water spring, damaged the fence around it and poured unknown material with a dirty smell in the water,” activist Bashar Al-Qaryouti confirmed.He added: “They did so to turn the water unsafe for drinking or farming.”
I couldn't find the Anadolu Agency article.
And there is no original reporting of this in Palestinian media. They are all quoting Turkish media about something that supposedly happened in their backyard.
No photos of the damaged fence or broken lock. No interviews of any witnesses. No mention in Haaretz. Just quotes of an anti-Israel activist talking, for some reason, to a Turkish news agency instead of the local media.
They say there are only seven basic plots of stories and everything is a variation. I have a feeling that there are only seven basic antisemitic libels as well (Jews spreading disease, Jews secretly controlling institutions, Jews faking history, Jews being guilty of the worst possible crime in any age...), but the world is as insatiable in wanting to hear the variants of the Jew-hate story as they are for all other fiction.
