>>If Hamas and the Palestinians laid their arms down, there would be peace.
West Bank Palestinians are largely disarmed. But there is no peace because Israeli settlers continue to push Palestinians off their territory.

I’m about as pro-Israel as one could get. However, you make a fair point there. It can be argued back and forth if the settlements are moral or not. Either way, they are a problem and part of the equation.
Now here’s where you’re wrong. If all those Israeli settlements were abandoned tomorrow, there would still be no peace. The majority of Muslims in the region don’t just want the settlements gone. They want Israel gone.
So yes, the settlements are a problem. But they are a minor problem.
