Demographically, what is the profile of the average “settler”? Are they ultra-orthodox, Herodim or something? I know very little about Israeli domestic stuff
Some of the settlers move to the occupied territories for religious reasons while others are drawn by a relatively lower cost of living and financial incentives offered by the government. Ultraorthodox Jews form one-third of all settlers.
From the second article, you should give it a read.
Basically there are 2 types of people living there.
First are the people who go to live there because government supports it a lot (which is terrible btw). Basically they go to the West Bank to enjoy life in a newly built village with more modern amenities than in the rest of Israel.
The second groups are the ultra-orthodox ones who just believe that God gave them the land… Rather no comment on that attitude.
Yeah that’s the stereotype, that settlers are typically right-wing orthodox types that believe the entire holy land should belong to them. Though, the Al-Jazeera article says Ultra-Orthodox are 1/3 of settlers and many others are there for religious or financial reasons.
Warning: both sources are extremely biased against Israel. Take information read from them with a grain of salt. Better yet, verify the information against credible sources.

Trusting Al-Jazeera is a terrible idea as they literally couldn’t call Hamas a terrorist organization.
1/3 is still a large proportion, considering that orthodox jews made up only 13% of Isreal.
So whats the truth or an alternative reality-based take on it?
We’re out of alternative reality, can I interest you in some alternative facts instead?
What does it come with again?
Orange makeup
Does it also come with a sickening amount of fast food?

I had a hunch that was the case

Didn’t Israel kill the family of an Al Jazeera journalist covering in Palestine? I’d have a bias against Israel too after that
After, before, since they’re inception. AJ always had a bias against Israel. The Arabic version is much much worse than the English version as well.
Fuck off and go back to reading the Jerusalem Post aka Israeli propaganda
No, I’m going to comment on your propaganda bullshit and call it out.
