Would you prefer to refer to it as Judea and Samaria like the extremist settlers do?
In case you haven't noticed or even care, hundreds of Palestinians have been murdered by settlers and the military.in the West Bank over the past year alone, but the only incident you bother to talk about is when it's an Israeli who's murdered. Why do you consider Israeli lives more.importsnt than Palestinians? I think the lives of all civilians are equally important and don't get how anyone can justify anything different.

Also, just correcting that false claim about Jewish Israelis not being able to set foot.in the West Bank without being murdered. The hundreds of thousands of Israeli settlers living.in the West Bank would be mighty surprised to hear that. As for living amongst Palestinians, Amira Haas spent many years living in Ramallah. And not that you'll read it, but here's a link to an article about the extremist settlers who terrorise.and attack.Palestinians.
