Do you support the settlers in the West Bank, or do you agree with 99% of the planet that they are at minimum illegal, and beyond that, evil and provocative, unfriendly and a severe barrier to any peace plan?

I agree settlers are provocative, unfriendly and a severe barrier to any peace plan. The vast majority of them are children who are born there; those children are not evil. I do not see Jews moving back into areas historically inhabited by Jews as evil.
I also think anti-settler sentiment is used as a means to provide more Arab control over Jerusalem. As the majority of settlers live in and around Jerusalem, an area that has seen significant Arab settlement too.
I see a double standard, as the Palestinians are to be provided with a state that is ethnically and religiously homogenous despite the area being historically very very far from that.
I'm not evasive. I don't see things as simple black and white.
