“It began Saturday morning with  a massive rocket barrage

In the early hours of Saturday, October 7th...

went house to house in their neighborhoods...

brutally killing civilians of all ages  and taking hostages.

just a few miles from this border  with Gaza...

the Israeli army has guarded this wall...

which holds more than 2 million Palestinians

in what's been called  an open-air prison.

Israelis texted their  friends and family

Israel is one of the biggest military spenders  in proportion to its population.

That coupled with billions in military aid  from the US

We have planes. We have helicopters. We have tanks.

For the first couple of hours, it's like we have no army.

You can see the strength of Israel's military

Persistent bombing in Gaza,  leveling neighborhoods

killing more than 2000 people, including at least 700 children.

But on the day of the Hamas attacks  in Israel.

At the sites of some of the worst violence...

soldiers didn't arrive for about 8 hours.

By then, hundreds were dead,  missing, or kidnaped.

To answer that question, we need to look here:

The vast majority of them Palestinian Muslims  and Christians.

When World War II ended in the wake of  the Holocaust in Europe...

with Jerusalem as a separate  UN-controlled entity.

But in 1948 zionist militias and paramilitary groups  carried out

a mass expulsion and massacre of Palestinians...

seizing their villages to expand  the Jewish state.

Then, in 1967, after a war  with its Arab neighbors...

Israel occupied the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip

taking more land designated for Palestinians.

And started turning parts of those  Palestinian territories

into illegal settlements for Jewish Israelis.

Today, the most extensive examples of that

where some of the settlements  have gotten so big

And they're just some of the hundreds of settlements

in the occupied West Bank  that have been built on land

originally intended for a Palestinian state.

with far fewer rights than their Israeli neighbors.

he's been an opponent  of the two state solution...

been in the central part of his ideology.

And it is just intimately bound up  in his idea

That it needs to have control  of the West Bank.

“Israel must retain the overriding  security control

over the entire area west  of the Jordan River.”

The government has encouraged  settlements in the West Bank

“The tranquility of a picturesque setting and crisp mountain air...

with all the benefits and amenities that Jerusalem has to offer.”

And this is bipartisan to put it  in American terms.

Tax breaks to incentivize Israelis to move there.

The number of Israeli Jewish settlers in the West Bank

began growing before Netanyahu  came to power in 1996...

and continued even when he was  out of office from 2000 to 2009.

But if you look at the number of  new settlement outposts each year...

you can see that there's  a noticeable gap right here.
