    That’s not true. Especially not when you count the settlers living on stolen land inside the West Bank and planning to do the same in Gaza.

        They are not citizens

        They by definition CAN’T be because Palestine doesn’t have any citizens. Because it’s occupied territory denied nationhood by its occupiers, Israel.

        Do you think a Palestinian state in the West Bank would accept Jewish settlers as citizens?

        Jewish people in general? Yes. Jewish (or Christian, or Muslim etc) SETTLERS stealing their land on behalf of an occupying force, though? That’s another kettle of ballgames entirely.

        “Settling” land already owned by someone else is colonialism and theft, not peaceful coexistence.

            However, the passport issuance is subject to additional restrictions imposed by the Israeli government.

            It’s not Palestinian citizenship when it’s still Israel who determines who is eligible.
