West Bank: Jewish Settlers Hope Trump Will Accelerate Population Growth

If Trump is going to take Gaza, he might as well just take the West Bank as well.

This is what he promised the Jews before the election.

It means there is going to be a war with Iran. That seems unavoidable, if these are the actions the Trump administration is committed to.

The Jewish population in the West Bank grew at twice the rate of the general Israeli population last year, according to an advocacy group that hopes the Trump administration will support policies that help accelerate the growth of settlements in the occupied territory.

The West Bank’s Jewish-settler population rose by roughly 2.3% — over 12,000 people — last year, reaching 529,450, according to a report by WestBankJewishPopulationStats.com, based on official government figures.

That was a slight dip from the 2.9% growth rate in 2023, but roughly double the 1.1% population growth rate inside Israel proper.

The number of Jewish settlers in the West Bank could grow “much higher” under the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, Baruch Gordon, the director of the group that publishes the data, said Tuesday.

Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war and has built about 130 settlements and dozens of settlement outposts in a bid to cement its control over the territory. The Palestinians seek the area as the heartland of a future state and say the presence of settlements makes independence impossible.

Nearly all of the international community, including the former Biden administration, opposes the settlements as obstacles to peace.

The International Court of Justice ruled in July that the occupation of the West Bank was illegal and said that it violated Palestinians’ right to self-determination. It said Israeli policy in the territories constituted “systemic discrimination” based on religion, race or ethnic origin, and that Israel had already effectively annexed large parts of the territory.

Settlers like Gordon say Israel must keep the territory for security and spiritual reasons. “This is our biblical heartland,” he says.

It’s not their Biblical heartland.

Jews have no claim at all on the Christian Bible, and they’re not even genetically very similar to the people in the Old Testament. Even if they were, it’s not their Bible, and they are against the Bible. Their holy books are the Talmud, which is a satanic document.

These people are sick and the US should arm Hamas.
