Yes in recent years far right has pushed for increased settlements in Judea and Samaria. And they have succeeded. It's not good for peace
But you are still mischaracterizing israel trying to steal land for years
After the Second World War, the Israeli state tried establishing itself in several places, including the United States! And some European countries/places - the Azores for example. All refuse
The Americans, the British, and the UN, together with the Jewish people, decided on the last alternative, the "holy land".
The Arabs who lived there (mostly farmers) had no choice.
It's amazing how many people don't know this.
I'm neutral on this issue but I stand by the facts and the truth
