Name

Israel's settlement policies in West Bank and East Jerusalem are aimed to displace the local population

Types

Claim

Opposing arguments

Israel expanded settlements are a bargaining chip in peace negotiations, not an attempt to permanently alter the demographics
Israel limits expansion to the lands that were historically owned by Jews, or are vital for securing it's population

Subclaims

The demographics in the affected regions are alterated drastically during the Israel's settlement expansions
Existing Palestinian homes are often destroyed during the Israel's settlement efforts
Israel's expansion in West Bank and East Jerusalem forecfully displaces the Palestinian population

Supporting arguments

The count of Arab Palestinians in Jerusalem shrunk based on Israeli census
Israel expanded illegal settlements defying UN Security Council Resolution 2334; from a few hundred pre-1967 to between 600,000 and 750,000 in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Those are typically off-limits to Palestinians, effectively reducing the Palestinian presence in these areas to zero.
