Israel isn't, you fucking idiot. There can be no removal of settlers unless we have the destruction of the state of Israel. That doesn't mean pushing Jews into the sea, that means the former Israelis who don't flee (as many will) are now living in a restored, non-ethnonational Palestine.
Broadly speaking, assuming they don't need to live under siege conditions, they want their land back. That's what movements like the March of Return were about. If it was your family's house, then whatever mockery of the human condition was built on it by settlers is logically also yours. Talking about stealing gardens is especially goofy since it's materially just a pile of fertilizer and dirt.
This is such a convenient story because it lets you ignore all the historical injustice and Israel's role as a settler-colonizer and look only at what is happening right now -- Palestinians being penned in and bombed, where of course their first concern is not being bombed -- and make that the whole issue. Remove siege conditions and suddenly they aren't as concerned with their ability to migrate to Egypt, what a funny thing!
Sorry, I find it hard to discuss things with people who call me an idiot. Hence I won't really engage you. Have a nice day/evening.
