It is understandable that an increasing number of Jews living abroad feel safer in Israel than( let's say ...) - France. Jews are flocking to Israel. It is also understandable that, for at least a half century or more, the West - mainly North America ...- has given Israel absurd amounts of (tax) free money to keep expanding those ( oops!) - illegal settlements. Let's face the facts please: most of those settlements are illegal. Period. It is a gobbling madness in ( nuclear) motion that has created a terrible, suicidal resentment ( not only) in the Middle East. Israel has the right to exist. Ditto. Yet does Israel has the " divine" right to impose/pave/ expand "whatever"  on what used to be Palestinian's lovingly cared orchards? To humiliate a land that belonged to the Palestinians since day one? ( another oops!). And what about Israel having "divine" access to the best of drinkable water and leaving the Palestinian with a left over of a primal resource - water that is scarce, polluted?
