    They are absolutely pushing Palestinians out to settle their land. The government actually has programs incentivizing living in a settlement, making it cheaper and better served than living in the normal borders of Israel. Unless you’re Palestinian of course. Then your home gets surrounded by barbed wire and you have to go through armed checkpoints to go anywhere, work, groceries, school, literally anywhere.

      Some are moving onto Palestinian land. But as I said, most of them stay in ultra orthodox communities they’ve lived in for generations, where they do admittedly have their own issues. But ones that don’t include settling on Palestinian land.

        It’s not just the ultra Orthodox. This isn’t a religious issue. It’s a racism issue. And it’s several hundred thousand settlers, not some tiny faction.
