No doubt, the “settlement factory” is live and kicking. But its not that of a clear cut as to be a policy of the state even if a hidden one.

The current most far extreme government in Israel’s history still dismantled new settlements and forcefully removed settlers.

Certain members of the coalition do indeed push for settlements and directly fund where they can and have the authority . In the last few months ben gvir straight up gave weapons to settlers. Even to ones with criminal record. In one case I think it was used to murder a Palestinian.

With all this said its still not a policy of the state. Or Bibi’s in particular. Bibi has to deal with those few fuckers on his coalition. Theres a reason that when he actually needed it he found a legal way to throw them out of the cabinet de facto and run the current war with the moderate center MPs.

What im saying is that expulsion of palestinians, or moving them with consent or encouraging them to move is definitely not something that happens or will happen. There are too many sane, centrists people who have the right to vote. Lets hope that what Hammas did on oct 7 didnt radicalize those centrists further for the next election.
