Why is Israel settling the West Bank and refusing to make peace with Fatah and the PA? There's no Hamas in power there but Israel has refused to stop violently removing people from their land on the basis of their ethnicity.
The West Bank settlements are illegal. It’s happening because of capitalism and the extreme power imbalance. I don’t think those settlements are a Zionist thing.
If we had a sovereign nation of Palestine, there wouldn’t be settlements in the West Bank. The world wouldn’t allow it.
The trouble is that the Palestinian leadership didn’t accept any offer of an independent Palestine. They want Israel to not exist.
If I recall correctly, unlike the formation of Israel, the West Bank settlements didn’t relocate anyone. I could be wrong?

Eh? Many of the settlers live in houses they stole by kicking out the Palestinian families living there for generations.
