           Israel does not occupy the land but does have an arrangement to be able to defend themselves.  The PA-Palestine Authority rules Judea and Samaria-poorly-wants Jerusalem but it remains
in Israel's hands as one city-the City of David;  and Gaza is ruled by Hamas terrorists who are living up to the label-they terrorize constantly; from rockets, mortars and missiles to fire bombings.  The two Palestinian groups will not come to any agreements of peace-let alone agree with each other,
except for their agreement after losing the 1967 War of never never never making peace with Israel.
