Why do people repeat this as if it has anything to do with why Gazans are without water right now.

Because it does. Gaza sits on top of a water supply. They don't need Israeli water. They are just too corrupt to manage their own.

Gaza normally gets its water supplies from a combination of sources, including a pipeline from Israel, desalination plants on the Mediterranean Sea and wells. Those supplies were slashed when Israel cut off water, along with the fuel and electricity that power water and sewage plants, in the wake of the Hamas attacks.
