Okay, well if you want Hamas destroyed and terrorism brought to a stand still then you should be all for ending the occupation, stop the illegal settlements, and Jewish extremists from attacking and stealing Palestinian land. Curb those activities and a road for peace can begin.

According to an Israeli gov't website and History the land is there's? How shocking, please continue to disprove it because that source is laughable.

Right, because it's my so called sympathy that is the root cause for terrorism against Israel. Israel is of course absolved from any responsibility. Your responses are very predictable.
By 1970, Palestinians, both Jordanian citizens and refugees, were almost as numerous in Jordan as King Hussein's own Bedouins. Arafat used the estimated 20,000 Palestine Liberation Organization fighters in Jordan to exercise control over much of the Palestinian population. In many parts of the country, he was the de facto government.
Jordan was seen as a waystation toward defeat of Israel and a united Palestinian Arab state encompassing Israel and Jordan. As many Palestinian Arabs put it: "the road to Tel Aviv lies through Amman". On September 6, 1970 militant factions of the PLO hijacked four foreign planes. They flew three to Dawson's Field in PLO-controlled northern Jordan and one to Cairo.
European governments secured the release of the hostage passangers by agreeing to release PLO terrorists from their prisons. The PLO then blew up the planes. King Hussein decided it was time to act. Throughout September the Jordanian military launched attacks to push the PLO out of Jordan, attacks now called "Black September" by the PLO.
Casualty reports are uncertain, but hundreds or perhaps thousands of PLO fadayeen were killed in the fighting and large numbers of Palestinian Arab civilians died as well. Arafat retreated to northern Jordan, close to his Syrian sponsors. Within 10 months the PLO were driven out of Jordan completely, and re-established themselves in Lebanon, a choice that led to eventual disaster for Lebanon.

What is a Jew? I'm not trying to sound like a person making a joke on here, I'm serious. "The Jews." I don't know what this is or why they are more persecuted than say, aborigines. Ive read a few of their texts. Everyone was always "rushing in to steal their best and most beautiful." ??

Oh, grammar police, fun.
Your only source is the Israeli gov't who of course are the only ones saying all of their settlements are legal. Meanwhile, the rest of the world accuses Israel of creating and building illegal settlements. It's literally Israel vs the World on this issue so if you're a hardcore Israeli gov't supporter it's obvious what stance you're gonna take so clearly our conversation will produce nothing.
It's ironic because you don't sound like you wanna learn anything while you blame it on the Palestinians. Just so you know, I'm not blaming the Jews. That's a typical responses from someone like yourself. I recognize Israel and its right to exist. What I'm criticizing is its government, not Jewish people.

That is such BS. You make it sound as if the IDF disappears or something. If Israel ceases their occupation, ceases their land grab, and kicks Netanyahu out of power maybe a real peace path can occur. Netanyahu has no interest in peace, he's said it himself (although he later back peddled). Settlement's have increased dramatically under his watch and continue to do so. He's a major problem.
Continuing down this road stealing land, destroying the Palestinian economy, and occupying them (checkpoints, etc) isn't gonna stop their random desperate acts of violence, it's only going to increase it. If Israel doesn't want peace then by all means continue doing what you're doing.
