If the land doesn't belong to someone but they build houses on it then there will be problems. Given the length of time this has gone on for I think it's time to accept that Israel intends to annex all of "Palestine" so when dealing with the Israel-Palestine/Gaza conflict, this is something we should keep in mind. At this point just being allowed to live in piece on what little land they have would probably be enough for most Palestinians is presented properly (i.e. basic human rights, that we previously denied to our own Natives, apply here. Lets not repeat the same mistake and fund atrocities on par with Genocide as we, as a country, will simply have more innocent blood on our hands).
Note; As it is I don't support foreign aid for anyone as we tend to fund dictators and thieves. But Occupation and Genocide? This is crazy1
The sort of opposition we have to the blatant lies told to us by the Israeli Government THAT WE FUND. Is ridiculous (see list of articles of Israeli propaganda allowed on our - GOP owned - corporate media below that create a fantasy story that is separate from reality and though not illegal - as per Supreme Court Edict - it should be as it influences our nations decision making and continuous lies will only help us make bad decisions)
Moment Of Zen: Joe Biden punishes Israel for its plans to build more settlements by showing up late to dinner with Prime Minister Netanyahu.

How the US Willingly Blew a Chance to Prevent More Wars in Gaza
On July 20, at least 90 Palestinians and 13 Israeli soldiers were killed in the Gaza City neighborhood of Shejaiya. Days later, former Israeli soldier Eran Efrati was arrested by Israel after he posted details about the massacre based on interviews he conducted with Israeli soldiers who were there. Today he speaks out about what he learned and talks about the killing of 23-year-old Salem Khaleel Shamaly. Activists with the International Solidarity Movement posted a video on YouTube showing the fatal shooting of an unarmed Palestinian civilian during the massacre. Family members later stumbled onto the video and identified the man as Shamaly. In the video, Shamaly is seen lying on the ground, apparently wounded by an unseen sniper. As Shamaly tries to get to his feet, two more shots ring out, and he stops moving. Efrati interviewed three of the Israeli soldiers who witnessed the killing of Salem Khaleel Shamaly. His sources within the Israeli Defense Forces reportedly informed him soldiers were deliberately targeting civilians as "punishment" and "retribution" for the deaths of fellow soldiers in their units. Efrati is a former Israeli combat soldier turned anti-occupation activist and investigative researcher.

"When a white army battles Indians and wins, it is called a great victory, but if they lose it is called a massacre." - Chiksika, Shawnee
