EDIT: I’m interested in how a free Palestine would play out in terms of what that would mean for women, gays, children, people of non-muslim religions, in terms of personal freedoms, etc. For the average citizen/denizen what would that look like?

      West Bank and Gaza are separate governments. Israel made a contract with Jordan Valley farmers to get their water rights in exchange for a steady water supply that they never delivered. Then after a while because they couldn’t farm without water they told them “your land is unused so we’re going to use it for a settlement”.

      There is water in the West Bank but it’s not reliable since Israelis need to water their crops first.
