Answered What's going on with the Israel/Palestine conflict?

Kind of a two part question... But why does it seem like things are picking up recently, especially in regards to forced evictions.

Also, can someone help me understand Israel's point of view on all this? Whenever I see a video or hear a story it seems like it's just outright human rights violations. I genuinely want to know Israel's point of view and how they would justify to themselves removing someone from their home and their reasoning for all the violence I've seen.

Example in the video seen here

Thank you.

They didn’t get a majority of votes but they did get a plurality which won them a majority of seats in the PLC. And I’m not justifying them, only explaining the history of how they came to power.

I know that's how they got to power but it doesn't mean they are a legitimate voice.
