ELI5: What exactly are Jewish settlements and why do the people of Palestine hate them so much?
gpt
They are communities of Jewish residents built on land that is part of Palestine. In many cases they have displaced Palestinians in order to take the land.  The goal is to make the land part of Israel, the reality is that it is fragmenting the land that should be Palestine into tiny islands that will be unmanageable. They are doing this in direct violation of previous peace agreements and UN resolution.

Both sides have elements that are doing everything they can to insure the continued violence and needless deaths, in the US we focus on the violence of the Palestinians while ignoring if not outright supporting tha of the Israelis.
