vue - Settlers, Olives, and Occupation: Voices from the West Bank
In response to last year's Gaza conflict, the Israeli government announced the construction of further settlements in the West Bank — a move condemned by the international community for escalating tensions that were already highly fraught. The expansion of the settlements has consumed privately owned Palestinian land, causing the destruction of Palestinian homes, produce, and livelihoods. Despite Israeli settlements taking up only one percent of land in the West Bank, they now exert control over 42 percent, with settlement boundaries often 10 times larger than the settlements themselves. VICE News traveled to the West Bank to speak to displaced Palestinians and activists who are trying desperately to address the grievances that boiled over with such horrific consequences in 2014.

The world stopped Fascism, The world stopped Apahrtide.
Its time for the world to stop Israel which symbolises both. -
"protest" by burning tires and throwing stones

A lot of comments here disgust me. They are written by people who have never set foot in Israel / Palestine / Jerusalem, and who think they know all. The situation is extremely complex, and certainly not black and white. I was somewhat pro-Israeli before moving to Jerusalem, but then my views changed as I was confronted with the reality of the situation, and ultimately it is a very natural feeling to support the people who are being oppressed - the underdog. I want a two state solution, and I support the Palestinians in their struggle for their rights and their land. Long live Palestine.

They were "outside" CAUSE THEY LEFT VOLUNTARILY AS traitors, in order to wage war against Israel. And their grandparents were calling them home to Jordan and Egypt where they were born (from) for forever generations. Duh.

Great work of IDF... Palestinians throw rocks on Israeli people and think we will stand and watch them kill us? No way!

obviously there are watchtowers in the jewish neighborhoods surrounded by palestinians, look at the facts, just last year there were hundreds of cases when palestinians snuck into jewish areas with weapons and many times they were successful of slaughtering innocent people... and more than that there were hundreds of terror attacks in the past year in general towards Israelis, i think there were about 4 attacks on Palestinians by Israeli individuals which are also totally condemned by the IDF speaking out of experience

Apartheid Israel is the biggest Welfare Queen living off of USA taxpayers!
Israeli's have universal health care funded by USA taxpayers . . . but USA citizens have to pay for our own health care. Do you see something is wrong here ?
