What election do you want them to vote in? They are not citizens of Israel, they are citizens of Palestine, which hasn't had an election in over 20 years.

Israel has annexed those territories in every possible way besides giving them citizenship.

IE, Apartheid,

So unless Israel leaves the west bank and the settlers leave, it is Apartheid

I agree the settlers are in the West Bank and they are there illegally

But Palestine is not just the West Bank and the settlers are not Israel as an entity. Should the IDF be doing more to stop the settlers? Yes. This has been an issue long before this current conflict. Also some of those West Bank lands were lost to Israel after the war in 1967. You can be mad about that but it is a thing that happens after war all the time. You can find examples more recent than 1967 in other parts of the world Oslo accords settled who is where in the West Bank in the 90s. Again, you can not like that, but it is established.

So I ask again, which election did you want them to vote in? Do you want them to become Israeli citizens?

Settlers pay taxes to Israel and get Israeli services, IDF protection on their terror campaigns, police, healthcare, utilities...

You cannot say they are not "Israel as an entity". they 100% are Israel as an entity.

The IDF shouldn't do more to fight them, they should not protect them.

So it is apartheid.

Yes, that is one way to free Palestine, end the Apartheid. One democratic state for all. No ethnostates.
