Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the West Bank as well. Hamas is never going to win an arms race with Israel so stop starting sht already.
There was not a single Israeli settlement in the West Bank or Gaza the first twenty years of Israel’s existence, and yet Israel was a constant target, so it was never about settlements. Can you name a time in history when Jews were ever forbidden to settle in the West Bank, the biblical birthplace of David, Solomon, Jesus, John the Baptist, and other Jewish Prophets? How many non-Muslims are allowed to live in the birthplace of Muhammad?
