Netanyahu: Judea and Samaria Will Forever Belong to Israel
What's new? That was always the intent of the colonists. They always intended to subjugate the native inhabitants of Palestine.
The Native inhabitants are the Jews who were subjugated for 1300 years to the non native Arabs or other Muslims, or some Christians, and now have taken back a small part of their native ancestral land and will not give any of it up, especially if the intent of the Muslims, some of them with the new identity as "Palestinians" have no wish for a peace treaty and living in peace with the Native, indigenous Jews.
Whatever the Arabs wish, the Jews will be happy to oblige.
The Arabs wish peace and coexistence, there will be both.
The Arabs wish war and self destruction, let them take the consequences.
As the saying goes:
"One has made one's bed....... "
There were hardly any native inhabitants of Palestine that practiced Judaism before 1850. All of the Jewish colonists came from another continent. They were not native to Palestine, they were natives of Europe.

"There are now in the whole of Palestine hardly 700,000 people, a population much less than that of the province of Gallilee alone in the time of Christ.* (*
See Sir George Adam Smith "Historical Geography of the Holy Land", Chap. 20.) Of these 235,000 live in the larger towns, 465,000 in the smaller towns and villages. Four-fifths of the whole population are Moslems. A small proportion of these are Bedouin Arabs; the remainder, although they speak Arabic and are termed Arabs, are largely of mixed race. Some 77,000 of the population are Christians, in large majority belonging to the Orthodox Church, and speaking Arabic. The minority are members of the Latin or of the Uniate Greek Catholic Church, or--a small number--are Protestants.
The Jewish element of the population numbers 76,000. Almost all have entered Palestine during the last 40 years.
Prior to 1850 there were in the country only a handful of Jews."
