Very short description: Israel and the West Bank (Palestine) agree on borders. Then Israel starts to build settlements (basically residential areas) for israeilis within the Palestinian territory.
And kicking residents out to make those areas, right?
I believe that has happened, yes.
Two neighbors are arguing about their property line.
They have a hundred foot strip of land that is ten feet wide in dispute
They have an ugly fight about it all. One neighbor is super rich and the other neighbor is barely able to keep the lights on.
The rich neighbor agrees to leave the land alone while it's in the courts .... but also decides to invite his friends over to park their really expensive RVs on the hundred foot strip of land.
Everyone wonders why the poor neighbor is angry about it.
More like a landowner living in their home, and a rich squatter parking their RV on the other guy's backyard then slowly taking over the house.
These "neighbors" metaphors ignore the historical fact that Israel was given Palestinian land and then encroached further beyond their borders.
The neighbors fact is historically relevant, Jews have been living on that land for thousands of years https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora
The rich neighbor also controls the water, food, and power going into that strip of land, and use that as leverage against the people who actually live there. Also, the people that live on that strip of land aren't allowed to leave it, or they won't be able to get back in. Also the rich neighbor likes to shoot the children and old women who live on that little strip of land.
Oh, and the rich neighbor "gifted" this land to the people who live on it after stealing the land they used to live on.
The rich neighbor also controls the water, food, and power going into that strip of land, and use that as leverage against the people who actually live there.
Well that seems like an opportunity for improvement. Disconnect Israeli power, food, and water supplies and connect Palestinian power, food, and water. Would be a good use of humanitarian funds.
One of the big things that Israel needs to stop for peace that is problematic on their end.
They tryin to do a PR name change? Its the Zionism movement, its religiously motivated military invasion.
They're doing an ethnic cleansing one "settlement" at a time. Israel is only a few gas chambers away from becoming the Nazis themselves. They already put Palestinians into 'ghettos' and are claiming they need lebensraum.
