16. You just want to delegitimize all groups who oppose the Occupation and the settlements.

Never mind that no humane, progressive pro-Occupation, pro-settlement position exists. No one on the left and no one who WANTS peace defends either.

BTW, don't ever imply that opposition to the Occupation and the settlements equals hatred of Jews. Neither of those things does anything to make Jewish people safe, in Israel or anywhere else.

Israel doesn't NEED the Occupation and the settlements. What it needs is to actually work out a peace agreement both sides can live with.
Without that, no amount of settlements or IDF divisions in the West Bank are going to to any good.
