The story of how Israeli settlements continue to spread into Palestinian territory despite international opposition.
"We recognise that the Palestinian state must be big enough to be viable, to be independent, to be prosperous. We will be generous," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said.
But his words have rang hollow.
In the face of international condemnation, the incremental encroachment of new Israeli settlements onto Palestinian land goes on with little restraint.
With every square metre of territory that is taken, with every Palestinian olive grove that is burnt down, or house that is demolished, the land available for an independent Palestine state shrinks a little more.]
But why is the settlement movement so difficult to stop? Who is driving it and why? Is it destined to continue until there is no more Palestinian land to take?
