According to people in here, it's lack of quality of life that creates terrorism, not funding. So which is it?

Ah, so you disagree with using Netanyahu’s own words and policies when determining his intents. Cool. Not sure why you’re bothering weighing in then, because I’m not going to reason you out of a position you didn’t reason yourself into.
As to the second line, I thought your last embarrassment here would have smartened you up. Don’t even bother playing these stupid games, because you’re just going to end up tucking your tail again. You know what people have said on the subject and are smart enough not to have to ask that question, especially if you don’t see things as “black and white” (lol) so I’m going to stop you at your #### before you get carried away.

Skeeter literally just cited Netanyahu’s peace making “efforts”, so yes, someone did. Not sure you’re selling him the way you think you are by suggesting he only attempts to make life in Gaza better when there is international pressure to do so.

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.

Sure, settlers are just provocative and unfriendly.

I know, it doesn’t paint ultranationalists as the pesky little rascals that are being unfairly criticized for ulterior motives, but maybe you’ll learn something.
If you actually aren’t evasive, that is.
