""After 45 years, Israeli settlements account for less than 2% of the territories.""

True, as far as it goes!

But what is not admitted, is the FACT that Israel has taken control of 62% of the territories, fenced it off from the Palestinian 38%, and is actively "encouraging" Palestinians to leave.

So effective is this "encouragement" that the Palestinian population of the most fertile land, Area C, has been reduced from approx 320,000 to 56,000, and is still falling.

In the same period the Israeli population of this desireable land has risen from 1,200 to 367,000.

That is the unvarnished truth of the situation, however much the anti Muslims here may wish it were not.
