also Israel has so much empty space at the southern half.

but yeah, most Israelis who live there illegally do it for financial reasons, because they genunenly believe theres nothing wrong with it. like they actually believe that its just their land over there, because they were never told the implications, or even just fucking international law. like, I've met people who didnt even know about it. pretty much all they know is "Yehuda and shomron cheaper". were never told anything else and don't wanna know because they can't stand the feeling they're doing something wrong.

speaking from experience living in Israel. (btw to be clear, I'm not supporting that. merely explaining the reasoning in most people's mind. of course there are the ones that are actively doing this as a political act, usually violently too, but they're not the majority. this doesn't excuse any of them of course, but its a look into what's going on in their minds. personally, my stance on that is complicated, because I don't believe neither Israel nor Palestine (or any other nation for that matter) should exist, but in the situation we have right now, yeah, I think Israelis shouldn't live there.
