The "Israeli settlers swim while Palestinians are thirsty" trope

Al Jazeera has an article quoting Ha-Makom, a left-wing Israeli site, saying that Israeli settlers are taking water from Palestinians in various ways. 

I have no idea how bad the problem really is. My guess is that in at least some places they are stopping the illegal theft of water in unrecognized Arab communities in Area C, which I had once seen myself. And springs that the article refers to are probably disputed. There may indeed be some abuses.  

But the Al Jazeera headline says "Palestinians in the West Bank bathe with bottled water, while Israelis fill swimming pools."

This is an old trope. The water sources for Palestinians and Israelis are separate. The amounts of water allocated are under an existing agreement. 

But Palestinians have swimming pools as well. Palestine Guide lists 74 pools and water parks.

Where are the articles about how heartless Palestinians in Nablus, Ramallah and Jericho are swimming while their neighbors are parched?

Nah, that meme won't fly. Only Jews are that evil.
