There is a common myth that, in the past, "Israel has traded land for peace."
But when? Leaving aside the Sinai, which Israel stole from Egypt, and thus it was never Israel's to "trade," when did Israel give up land?
Since 1967, Israel's domination of the West Bank, Gaza & Golan goes in one direction, not two: more domination, more control more land theft, more infiltration.
What about Oslo? Israel agreed to withdraw its soldiers from urban areas of Palestine, but did not actually give the Palestinian Authority control of urban centers.
Instead, the Israeli military continued to control Palestinian urban centers through its 'Duvdevan' unit, which it had to massively expand after 1993 so it could continue to operate, kidnap and kill anyone, anywhere at anytime in Palestine.
Oslo forced Israel to move from operating openly in Palestine to operating covertly.
Israel trained more and more soldiers to become intimately acquainted with local Palestinian traditions, dialects, manners of speech, family clans and topography. They learned to hide in and amongst Palestinian civilians in order to surveil, kidnap and kill them.
By 1997, the Israeli human rights organization B'tselem said that Israel had killed 161 Palestinians in undercover ambushes carried out by the Israeli military.
Israel never gave an inch of Palestine to the Palestinians. Not a single inch.
By the 2000s and 2010s, Israeli soldiers were carrying out operations in Gaza and the West Bank disguised as civilians almost daily. palestinenexus.com/articles/israe
Alongside Israel's daily military operations in Palestine, Israel also dramatically expanded and accelerated its colonization of Palestine since 1967. This story is well known, but from 1967 --> present, Israel encouraged and subsidized nearly 1 million of its own citizens to live on stolen land.
