I’m not ignoring the West Bank at all; the same security logic applies there.
You call it 'terror,' but the reality is a relentless anti-terror campaign against factions like Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas cells, and the Lion's Den, which are actively funded and armed by Iran to launch suicide bombings and shootings into Israeli cities. Just like in Gaza, when the IDF operates in places like Jenin or Nablus, it is targeting explosive labs, weapons caches, and gunmen not hunting civilians at bus stops.
If Israel pulled its security presence out of the West Bank tomorrow, it wouldn't create a peaceful Palestinian state; it would create a massive vacuum that Hamas and Iran would instantly fill, turning the hills overlooking Ben Gurion Airport and Tel Aviv into a giant launchpad for rockets.
Once again, you are treating Israel's self-defense measures as the cause of the conflict, rather than a direct response to a constant, lethal threat

Gaza, I can see your argument, Lebanon I can see your argument. Same goes for Iran. But Israel is literally carrying out state sponsored terror in the West Bank for years. There is so much evidence to support this that your argument is simply not worth defending. I strongly recommend you not debate the West Bank.

You just conceded the argument on Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran because the security logic is undeniable and that exact same logic applies to Judea and Samaria.
Telling me not to debate it isn't an argument; it’s a white flag. You can't separate the West Bank from Iran, Hamas, and PIJ when they are the ones pouring millions of dollars and smuggled weapons into places like Jenin and Tulkarm to turn them into terror hubs.
If pointing out that Israel is systematically dismantling bomb labs and stopping suicide bombers makes my argument 'not worth defending' to you, that’s fine. But I live in the real world where stopping a terrorist before he crosses the Green Line into Tel Aviv isn't 'state-sponsored terror' it’s the absolute, non negotiable duty of a sovereign country protecting its citizens. You don't get to dictate which parts of our survival we are allowed to defend.

No, i did not concede, i said I understand your view. these are not the same thing. you have overstepped here and i will respond.

There's no overstepping here. You literally said you can 'see the argument' on three massive military fronts, but then tried to lock down the fourth because it doesn't fit your narrative.
If you have a real counter-argument that explains how Israel is supposed to handle Iranian-funded terror hubs in the West Bank without military operations, go ahead and lay it out.

The floor is yours sir!
