There are 2,100,000 Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank, along with 500,000 or so Jews, those directly descended from the bloodline of Abraham, Isaac, and the 12 tribes (sons) of Israel (Jacob). I assume that the Palestinian Arabs are predominantly Muslim, and that some of them are Jewish, hence are now Muslim Jews.
A child who has a Muslim parent and a Jewish parent? Isn't that the same logic as Muslim Christians?
No, being a Muslim is choosing to follow Muhammed and the Koran, being a Christian is choosing to follow Jesus Christ and the Bible, being Jewish is being born of the blood line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
There were many forced converts, ie, the Samaritans. (Wikipedia)
'Much of the local Palestinian population of Nablus is believed to be descended from Samaritans who converted to Islam. According to the historian Fayyad Altif, large numbers of Samaritans converted due to persecution under various Muslim rulers, and because the monotheistic nature of Islam made it easy for them to accept it. The Samaritans themselves describe the Ottoman period as the worst period in their modern history, as many Samaritan families were forced to convert their religion to Islam during that time. Even today, certain Nabulsi family names such as Muslimani, Yaish, and Shakshir among others, are associated with Samaritan ancestry.

Many people do not know that the place where Joshua crossed first the Jordan river into Canaan (the West Bank), is where many Jews have lived for centuries, even if they are Muslim, and that most of the Israelis who are stealing their land are non-Jews. If it is 'illegal' to do so, why does America continue to send billions a year in 'welfare' checks to Israel?
"Israel has announced plans to build 1,500 new settlement homes in East Jerusalem, the part of the city occupied by Israel in 1967 but claimed by Palestinians, just hours after it freed 26 Palestinian prisoners as part of a deal to restart peace talks.

Ummm. No. Per the Quran ALL people are Muslims, thus they are born Muslim Any person the becomes Muslim later in life is known to have reverted. Per Christianity a newborn is supposed to be baptized usually by the first Sunday after their birth. As to being Jewish, if the mother is Jewish then the child is Jewish. The circumcision is a OT (Gen 17:12) ritual. So where does a newborn get to "choose" their religion?
Israel has been illegally expanding its territory and displacing its neighbors since its inception. But all of the Arab countries in the area are "evil" for criticizing it.

And the Sinai is sitting in who's hands? And as to neighbors, you're talking about actual physical countries, right? And those actual physical countries are?
