Reply to comment by spicytunaonigiri in Israelis, Palestinians pledge to curb violence at Jordan meeting by Hiversitize

Yeah, except the agreed upon exchange of area c never happened and Israel continues nip at the heels of the Palestinians who live there by restricting their water, not allowing development, blocking trash removal, transplanting Israeli citizens into ever-expanding developments, building walls inside the 1967 border, and on and on. But they’re a democracy (/s), so the US allows it.

My comment was responding to a specific insinuation that Israel randomly seizes Palestinian homes whenever it wants to build settlements. It should not be read in any broader context than that.

When you mention Oslo, it absolutely needs context. And for what it’s worth, settlements in the West Bank don’t happen without bulldozing homes and displacing families that have lived in those homes for generations.

Not true. While some settlements are on demolished Palestinian structures that were built illegally, the vast majority of settlement homes are new constructions on previously unoccupied land

The settlements are illegal. They are de facto annexation.

Excusing the settlements is supporting genocide.

This is not germane to the discussion though. I was correcting a fact, not stating an opinion on whether I agree with the settlements.
