Because we're supposed to post things that create discussion and stimulate curiosity, while that generates outbursts like "I used to support Israel but now I don't support it's right to exist!" from new accounts.
In the spirit of wanting this thread to be more productive: I would like to see ~80%+ of the West Bank settlers shoved back into Israel as part of a peace deal and the infrastructure given as reparations.
Because the Palestinians are many decades late in accepting a two-state peace deal and their bargaining position isn't getting any better.
Because even moving 80% of West Bank settlement population is going to be difficult for Israel to achieve politically and we want the proposal to be something that can be actually achieved because we can see what the alternatives are. And this is with a hypothetical Democrat US president willing to bring ultimatums to an new Israeli President that is to the left of Netanyahu.
If you want to encourage endless conflict over what your vision of justice is then that's your right. But if there's no compromise there's going to be a lot of (mostly Palestinian) blood spilled yet and you should be aware of that.

That's not a comment on that article though (not that there's anything wrong with it). The comments on the flagged post seem quite reasonable.
Why only 80%? Why should 20% of illegal occupiers remain on Palestinian land?
Because politics is compromise.
