as Israel expands its territory it implements its system of apartheid.
The "settlers" (colonialists) then push Palestinians off their land - with th IDF's assistance - and complex planning systems (run by these "settlers") are implemented over this de facto annexed land which are wholly discrimatory against Palestinians, based on their ethnicity. It is ethnic cleansing.
The other part of this colonial strategy of apartheid is, of course, water usage.
All of the above is illegal under international law.
One other part of Israel's long term strategy had been to fund and empower Hamas (Sharon started it, Netanyahu embraced it) s a way of weakening the more moderate PLO thus dividing Palestinan politics. Netanyahu in 2019: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support the bolstering of Hamas"
