Have you ever heard of Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Mea Shearim, or Elad?

There are haredi cities such as Beitar and Kiryat Sefer in the West Bank but they're fairly new and much smaller than the established Haredi cities inside Israel proper.

I lived for some time in Israel and have family there. Anti-Zionist Haredi couldn't give less of a **** about the West Bank.
Exactly.

Hasidic is a umbrella term. There are different groups that do different things. Some do, most don't.

Here's a hint to my background:

It doesn't matter if you are frum from birth or not frum from birth.

Most settlers in the West Bank are NOT ultra-Orthodox/haredi/Hasidic

Okay, wrong again (wow, you're on a losing streak).
I'm not Torah observant.
I think you are doing a little too much assuming, and too little listening.
