Considering these stats, why for one second would Palestinians believe that if they stop blowing up cafes they will get their land back? This increase in settlers is a result of government policy. You may disagree but it seems to me that Israel never intended to return the West Bank or Jerusalem.

It's all well and good to categorise what I'm saying as 'rubbish', but you haven't really responded to my querie. If Israel always has and still does intend to return the occupied territories, why has the population of settlers been increasing the way it has? Why on earth would the Israeli government create problems for itself by first settling people, and then relocating them? A logical explanation would be appreciated.

To homongenize these disparate groups of people so as to posit the conflict as two opposing sides locked in an eternal holy war (or the US/West and Isreal against the East/Oil Producing nations of the Middle East)ignores the multi-polar reality of the situation, and more importantly blinds people from the possiblility of meaningful engagement and suport of the moderates on every side of the conflict who seek a meaningful resolution to end the suffering of people all over the Middle East.

Painting one (either Isreali or Palestinian/Arab) group of homogenized people as evil and oppressive while the others become poor tortured victims who have done nothing wrong blatantly ignores the history of the region and does nothing to work with the groups on both sides who still seek a fair resolution to the conflict and an end to violence in the region.
