Summary
Israeli settlers in the West Bank, emboldened by Trump’s return and a far-right Israeli government, are pushing for formal sovereignty over the territory.
Settlement activity has surged to record levels under Prime Minister Netanyahu, with nearly 6,000 acres designated as state land in 2024 and dozens of new outposts established.
While settlers see this as fulfilling Biblical claims, Palestinians view it as erasing hopes for a future state.
Critics warn annexation could jeopardize regional stability and U.S.-brokered normalization efforts, such as those with Saudi Arabia.
We did it, Patrick! We saved Palestine!
Yay, no more genocide! I knew both sides were the same.
Sorry, I’m hard of hearing. I think you asked for extra genocide? That’s our new chef’s speciality!
Technically, a successful genocide stops. If the goal was specifically that the genocide would end more quickly, then I suppose they got what they wanted.
I hate that I’m upvoting this.
Easy to end war forever. Just nuke everyone.
