The Palestinians think of Israeli settlements in the Palestinian Territories as the theft of land and a continued humiliation of their people.
Settlements in the West Bank and the Separation Fence.
Settlements were founded in order to help permanently annex the West Bank to Israel while gradually crowding the native Palestinians out.
Answer 1Everyone is to blame for the continuing conflict. Israelis are continuing to build settlements in the West Bank and Blockade Gaza, preventing the Palestinians from properly developing a State of their own. Palestinian organizations like Hamas refuse to recognize Israel as a Jewish State. American benefactors support Israel without encouraging it to abandon the practice of the settlements. Arab Nations do not try to engage Israel openly and honestly and believe in holding the Palestinians in refugee camps while they continue to demand that Israel host all of the refugees, something which they know is a non-starter with Israel.Answer 2Palestine. the Israelis had control of the land first, but the Palestinians seized it from them thousands of years ago.Answer 3In basest terms: GodThe differences between the countries started out being religious, with each claiming that their own religion is the one that should have the region, it has since turned into a political issueAnswer 4God is to blame. As well as the Germans, British, Americans and French. And, of course, the Israelis and Palestinians
All are Palestinians in both sides.
The Palestinians were driven out to occupied territories such as the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Some of them were able to move into surrounding countries but most weren't welcomed there.
AnswerJewish settlers are Jewish people from different world countries who migrated to the Palestinian lands and settled there through installing settlements for their own residence on behalf of the Palestinians. They built settlements even in the West Bank that Israel promised to be given back to the Palestinians to establish their independent state.
Settlements in the West Bank and the Separation Fence.
Israel expanded its West Bank settlements.
increasing Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip
The Settlements that are often discussed in the news are Jewish villages and neighborhoods built in the West Bank and formerly built in Gaza (the Israeli government forcibly removed the Gazan ones in 2005). These cause resentment among Palestinians specifically because they appear to be removing all of the land that Palestinians claim for their future state. A number of Palestinians are also angered by the natural growth of Jewish-majority Israeli cities because they see all of Israel as belonging to a future Palestinian state (not simply the West Bank and Gaza) and are angered by the growth in numbers of Jews.
It depends on the particular settlement being discussed. In a number of settlements, especially those in and around the cities of Jerusalem and Hebron, Palestinian Arabs were displaced from their original areas of residence. In other settlements, such as Ariel and Ma'ale Adumim, Jewish Settlers built in areas of the West Bank where the land was relatively unused. This resulted in no Palestinians being evicted, but increased tensions between the Jewish Settlers and the Palestinians in neighboring villages.
Palestinians having been living in the West Bank for the last 800 years at least, so it should not surprise us that they currently live there. Additionally, numerous Palestinians fled Israel during the Jewish-Arab Engagement in 1947-1949 and many of those Palestinians ended up in the West Bank. As a result, they began to create lives for themselves in the West Bank.
The settlers in the West Bank are a significant issue for Palestinians because their presence is seen as an obstacle to the establishment of a future Palestinian state. The settlements are considered illegal under international law and are often built on land that Palestinians claim as their own. This leads to tensions, conflicts, and challenges for Palestinians in terms of their rights, resources, and aspirations for self-determination.
