It is useful to have lots of stupid laws. It makes people feel powerless and frustrated. It means the police can always find excuses to persecute you.
The technicalities of the individual laws are not important. It’s the psychological effect of the whole body of laws on a people.

How many laws does the US have again?
Nothing in his comment says that the US is not an example of this strategy 🤔
Well an estimate from 2008 put it at upwards of 4,000 just as federal crimes. Not to even touch on state matters ,tax, civil affronts, etc.
If we don’t know the exact number, then it’s too high. Lol
The United States does the same thing all over the Southwest. Rural people will tell you.
It might be the same as Canada where you only can with a permit just to be sure people aren’t drinking mold water
I’d guess it’s for droughts
There’s a difference between needing a permit to collect rainwater because the water belongs to everyone, and being forbidden from collecting rainwater because the water belongs to an oppressing party.
isn’t the point there that shit is super dry and if you leech the water in the wrong places the ground can’t handle it?
Hamas has banned the digging of wells since 2021. I don’t see how they would permit the harvesting of rainwater, even if there weren’t Israeli legal regulations in place (which seem to be on par with many other countries’ laws). That plus their systematic dismantling of working water infrastructure for rocket parts has had it’s effects.
Yeah, but they banned it as a bad way to deal with a water shortage problem. Israel banned it because they are pricks.
Many rural areas with Palestinians, including Palestinian citizens of Israel, aren’t even covered by the Iron Dome system because they are registered as an empty area. They also don’t get basic infrastructure that Israel would otherwise provide to any illegal settlement right away.
That would make Hamas even dumber as bombing Israel would mean a large number of unintercepted missiles will fall into areas where Palestinians live.
Illegal settlement. Wow. Just wow. This says a lot about health of democracy.
Basically, both Palestine and Israel hate Palestinians
What a beautiful world we live in…
Well, Putin hates Russians and Sobyanin hates Moscowians. Not a surprise to me.
