This is ten years old - debate - Israel is destroying itself with its settlement policy

1. Thanks for posting. I haven't had time to watch it all, but the maps near the beginning are really

interesting. In 1948, the land was roughly equal, with the Palestinians having a bit more than Israel. The last map shows that Palestinians occupy only 22% of the land, and that was 10 years ago. I suspect that number is now in the teens since many Jewish settlers have been allowed to take Palestinian lands and homes in the West Bank. The question the first speaker asked, “Why is Israel allowing settlers to occupy land reserved for a Palestinian state is they will only have to force them to move back to Israel when such as state is established?” is interesting since ten years the two-state solution was still on the table. I think we can answer that question now. Israel never plans to give the land back or to allow a Palestinian state. That is why the UN must take the governance of the Palestinians out of Israeli hands.

I plan to bookmark and watch the rest later. Very interesting.
