To be honest a lot of them are US American Jews, a large number of them from Brooklyn.
The Israeli government pays them a monthly stipend to move to Israel. The program is called aliyah (which translates to “to rise”). You can be mad at these settlers, but a lot of them are poor US Americans and just saw it as an opportunity (free food & rent is hard for most people to pass-up). When they arrive, they’re bombarded with anti-Palestinian propaganda and most of them never leave the walls of the Settlement (literally in Israel even the roads are divided), so they’re blindfolded and oblivious to the system that they’re perpetuating.
If it were not for the US government’s subsidies to the Israeli government, Israel would not have enough money to continue the Aliyah program.

That’s very interesting, thanks!
So, basically, the US is very upset that the money they give is being used… The solution seems obvious…
