Summary

Israeli settlers in the West Bank, emboldened by Trump’s return and a far-right Israeli government, are pushing for formal sovereignty over the territory.

Settlement activity has surged to record levels under Prime Minister Netanyahu, with nearly 6,000 acres designated as state land in 2024 and dozens of new outposts established.

While settlers see this as fulfilling Biblical claims, Palestinians view it as erasing hopes for a future state.

Critics warn annexation could jeopardize regional stability and U.S.-brokered normalization efforts, such as those with Saudi Arabia.

    Problem:

    Whatever ethnicity that survives is incapable of disposing of 8 billion people.

    Even if they could execute them all (they can’t), they wouldn’t be capable of burying or cremating 8 billion people before the diseases spread by rotting corpses kills them as well.

    Congrats! You just came up with a plan for human extinction!
