Any human reasonable person who follows this issue surely must sense the injustice of keeping a people imprisoned in these places.
What kind of life is it when one can't leave or enter the areas where they are forced to live, without being given permission? On top of that, when their imprisonment becomes unbearable and when they protest out of sheer frustration, due to conditions that can only be imagined by those not subjected to such treatment, they are used as ginny pigs for testing the latest crowd control weapons.
However, the question no one seems to be asking that I'm hearing: what is to become of the Palestinian people? Those who deal in reality realize a two-state solution ain't gonna happen. If the Jews continue their quest for a Greater Israel, and that's what they're up to, then where are the Palestinians supposed to go?
Perhaps, as has been shown throughout history, their plans will be foiled. The countries that contain portions of the land that Israel covets, for their dreams of a Greater Israel, will probably have something to say about that.
I also suspect that the people of the US will, at some point, wake up and refuse to be used as Israel's enabler. Listening to the Democratic debates, we heard Tulsi Gabbard explain her thoughts on the wars in the Middle East. That the US wakes up could be nearer than thought, especially when considering those who have hijacked the Democratic party.

You know, there really is a large difference, in an awful lot of instances, between what the mainstream media (and I'm talking that of both Europe and the U.S.) reports and the actual realities on the ground.
Having worked in Israel, Pakistan and a few real shitholes, then read what the MSM has to say, I can assure you that all you're getting is political bias. In many cases, the "reporters" who file the stories are supplying second hand information because either they don't have the balls to set foot in certain area deemed highly dangerous or government authorities, ours or locals, won't permit them in. Somehow that never seems to figure into their stories. Often what they "report" is hearsay from sources with some political axe or other to grind.
Then, of course, there is their news venue's own political biases and other factors. Our own mainstream media, for example, deals with a Democratic Party that will not tolerate any reporting that contradicts their party line; in some cases, reporting the truth could find a news company "on the outs" with the very party they support.
That said, having been to some countries and done work in a field that's pretty much inside certain issues that make the news, I've found much of the MSM accounts regarding events in those places to be less than accurate.
Now, in addition to having been there myself when I was 17 and again s couple of times in the first 12 years of this century, I have a number of relatives of Polish descent, a "wing" of my family from my grandmother's side, who have been living in Israel since the late 1940s. They have been soldiers, business people,
kibbutzniks, tradesmen and one was a professor at the University of Tel Aviv. When I was there working, I took time to get together with some of those in my relative age group, their children and grandchildren and we talked a lot about "goings-on" there.
To be perfectly blunt and speaking as someone who has
been there and worked with Israeli security people, specifically, in part,
Shabak (what you may know as the
Shin Beth, the General Security Service) what you posted to start this thread was total bullshit published by folks with an extreme anti-Israel bias.
What I would recommend before you post something regarding anything happening on the other side of the world and then express an opinion is that you go there first and see for yourself, thereby saving yourself the dubious experience of being just another conduit for a lie. 😎
