I despise groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, that being said, the Israeli government are as barbaric and savage as them. There is no excuse for the continuing development of settlements and even those palestinians who are sharing borders with these settlers have shared their stories of the extreme discrimination they face at the hands of the IDF, even the Israeli government themselves have acknowledged this, and said they couldn't properly rectify it because of 'budget' issues.

Israel always flaunts itself as the only democracy in the Middle east, but their government is no different in their actions than your common terrorist organization.
