They don't want "a free Palestinian state",
Where? No such country mate.
. The vast majority (well over 90%) of Palestinians in the West Bank don't live under Israeli control.
It isn't just a block on journalism in Gaza or of Al Jazeera:they (Israel) have so many gullible useful idiots in the West
Some of them spout total distorted arguments and untruths.
Why is there a blockade on journalism operating in Gaza?
Does Gaza have a dedicated media operating from Gaza, in the same way as the Israel Hayom?
It's a free newspaper, one of the (if not the largest) in Israel and is owned by friends of Netanyahu.

The vast majority (well over 90%) of Palestinians in the West Bank don't live under Israeli control.
A barefaced lie.
Straight from Israel's propaganda.
Luckily there are not many people who still believe such lies.
Only area C is under Israeli control.
The fact is that Israel via settlements are effectively annexing occupied territory. This is totally against international law. The court also pointed out that the infrastructure these need has also been added.They are permanent. Once so the law has been broken. This covers the west bank and there is plenty of evidence that settlements have continued to expand even more so of late.Also the occupation is justified by international law. After the '67 war, the UN passed a carefully-worded resolution that said Israel had been right to occupy Arab territory and should stay there until a final peace had been brokered.
As negotiated and agreed to with the arabs in the Oslo 2 accords,
What nonsense!As negotiated and agreed to with the arabs in the Oslo 2 accords, the West Bank is split into 3 areas, areas a, b and c.
Only area C is under Israeli control.
90% of arabs live in areas a and b.
The Oslo Accords divided the Palestinian West Bank into three administrative zones: Area A (18%), where the Palestinian Authority (PA) administers civil and security matters; Area B (22%), where the PA administers only civil matters; and Area C (60%) where Israel maintains full control.[1] Area C includes all Israeli settlements and two thirds of the West Bank’s fertile agricultural land.[2] While Area C is a continuous territory, Areas A and B are fragmented into 166 separate enclaves.[3] In spite of the breakdown of the Oslo process, Areas A, B and C remain in force today.

The strip is a little different. It was partially annexed but the Israeli living there were forced out by their state. The court has ruled that due to the controls Israel exercises on the area it's effectively still occupied. There is nothing new about that view. They are interfering to an unacceptable level with an area that they have occupied.
A curious factor about the strip is that if the biblical view is accepted it's never been part of the promised land.
Jerusalem - it's been annexed, That relates to the eastern half. Other aspects relate to it not being seen as the capitol of Israel for pretty obvious reasons. It has to many religious factors relating to 3 faiths to allow it to be handled this way. It's bound to cause problems.
The court also considered the period before the 67 war.It's easy to get a one sided view on this. All an Arab problem. However given Israel's actions when things kicked off how else would you expect the Arabs in general to react. Israel forcibly annexed an area including evictions of people from their homes. It's interesting that an expansion of annexation continues. They very clearly intend to continue doing that.
Go back to the Ottoman empire and this whole area and other areas in it progressed rather well. All religions around much as they will have been for rather a long time without problems. Each just held their faith. Then throw in wars - us and others involved. Lines on maps and an eventual carve up between UK and France. None of which have lasted. The result - a number of what are in real terms despotic states. Iran's blew up, The US tried to back the Shah and failed as his armed forces revolted as well. it seems from a piece of fiction I am currently reading they did have an alternative. The author usually researches his books rather thoroughly. It seems they could have accepted the new leadership but a president said no.
As negotiated and agreed to with the arabs in the Oslo 2 accords,
What nonsense!
So 30% live in areas A and B, while 60% live in area C where Israel maintains full control.
