The Palestinian Authority (PA) prioritizes its payments to terrorists, and has therefore lost more than 6.96 billion shekels (over $1.88 billion) in the last 5 years alone, according to its own data.
The official PA news agency, WAFA, criticized Israel for causing the PA’s financial crises largely by deducting money that the PA uses for terror payments. However, a look at the PA’s numbers shows that the PA itself is responsible for its crises.
You’re just straight up defending Settler Colonialism. Do you know what settlements are? Or how the Apartheid Regime works? Not only are you denying Human Rights Watch; you just used rhetoric to justify Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and blame them for it
I’m doing the opposite. The path to zero settlements and zero settlement violence is peace in Gaza. As long as Hamas keeps breaking cease fires, the political factions who are advocating for the end of West Bank Settlements will never gain power and will never be able to implement a pullout.
As long as we in the West continue to invest massive dollars into Gaza and just accept that they use it to find their war machine, were perpetuating the settlement situation in the West Bank.
We can deny patterns in human behavior as long as we want to. But Israel’s body politic will never accept a two state solution while their two state solution experiment has a hundred hostages and openly says they want to bomb, attack and rape them again. Stop being a child.
Maybe you don’t recognize it, but that’s exactly what your rhetoric is doing and the point of the misinformation baked into your arguments.
Israel is the one that was founded on ethnic cleansing, used the peace process to expand it’s settlements, and is currently engaged in genocide. Both Hamas and Fatah have agreed to a Two-State solution based on the 1967 borders for decades. Oslo and Camp David were used by Israel to continue settlements in the West Bank and maintain an Apartheid, while preventing any actual Two-State solution

Did you comprehend this section? There’s a faction in Israel that is pro 2 state solution. Unless that faction takes power, Israel will never roll back it’s West Bank Settlements. Since that faction is responsible for the pullout in Gaza, the Israeli body-politic is not going to vote them into power until the Gaza Strip is peaceful.
The faction that was against that in Israel implemented the Gaza pullout. You’re right it is one of the other. Advocating for Gazan violence is defacto advocating for settlements.
Sorry, but your understanding of the history of Palestine is revisionist. I already provided sources that debunk what you’re saying. If you don’t want to engage with those sources, then please read up on the subject by Historians that have a much deeper understanding than either of us.
