The land appropriated by the Israelis around Jerusalem is a very small percentage of the land they've illegally seized on the West Bank, Pete. Probably less than 1%. Do a Google Images search on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Most Americans are absolutely clueless about how much land Israel continues to seize on a daily basis there. Meanwhile, believe it or not, there's quite a bit of vacant land in Israel, even for a small country, except on the coast between Tel Aviv and Haifa.

Of course not.
And the Palestinians of course cannot accept the land-stealing, death, and destruction visited upon them by the Israelis. Can they?
Thus the endless loop.
Endless.

You mean if they would shut up and just accept being treated like dogshit?
Then the international community would pretend like everything is hunky dory and forget about them. That's what would happen.

They are human beings. They can't stop, until the Israelis stop.
And the Israelis can't stop either.

Has Gaza been friendlier with Israel since they pulled the settlements out?
Wiki shows about half the settlers are in East Jerusalem.

I suppose they've been throwing fewer rocks with fewer settlers to aim at. Gaza's a hellhole, Pete. The West Bank less so. This probably explains why the Israelis want to seize as much West Bank land as possible.

Correction, it's $351 million. But then there is the annual $3.1 Billion military aid to Israel, even when they don't really need it as their economy is very robust and booming.
