Much quicker and easier than starving the Palestinians, is simply letting them die of thirst.
This is what Mr. Netanyahu learned from the Holocaust - unfortunately it was all from the Nazis!
Collective punishment and a war crimes is nothing new to Netanyahu:
Netanyahu: Shut off Gaza's water
"The government can do a lot to protect its people," Netanyahu said. "It could evacuate whomever necessary, enact a closure on the Gaza Strip, stop providing services like electricity and water, or decide on a limited invasion of four or five kilometers to distance the range of the Kassams. But the government isn't doing anything to protect the people of Sderot, because it is paralyzed," he said. (Source: Jerusalem Post)
Nothing less can be expected from such a person...
But wait, it is not only at politician/war criminals level:
Mekorot limits water supply to Arara due to local council's unpaid debt
The Negev town of Arara has been largely without running water for three days, due to an unpaid municipal debt to the Mekorot Water Company.

According to Mekorot, the Arara Local Council owes NIS 321,000, and that limiting the supply of water to the Bedouin town was used as a last resort.
The National Council for the Child asked Interior Minister Roni Bar-On to intervene, after it was alerted to the situation by a resident of the town, who said the lack of water has placed the town's children in a dire situation. (Source: Haartz)
Please note that Arara is a Bedouin town in Israel. Imagine if the same thing happens to jewsih kids and their families. Can you imagine that? Of course you can't because that is impossible to happen to a Jew citizen (and I really hope that it never happens to them of others), but to Palestinians and Bedouins, it does not matter.

They take their land, their freedom, their ability to work to earn livings and so much more. If they could take away the air they breath, I’m sure they would not hesitate.
Dear Mr. Sabbah,
You know that Benjamin Netanyahu is the leader of Likkud Party, AKA the right wing opposition to Prime Minister Olmert and his Kadima Party. What you may not know is the primary reason that Olmert is still in power after the devastating interum report of the Winograd Commission is because virtually all the Kadima ministers including those formerly from Likud are frightened by the prospect of Netanyahu taking over the government of Israel if Kadima forces Olmert to resign. So Olmert remains in power and Netanyahu gets to throw thunder bolts from the right in hopes that something terrible will happen from the continuing Qassam attacks causing Israelis to demand a major response and maybe the head of their unpopular Prime Minister.
