If Israeli settlers live in 62% of the land then your numbers add up to 100%. People live on every square inch of the area? What about the dead sea?

And Israel did not close down villages, relocating Palestinians, squeezing them all together or anything like that. Your numbers make zero sense. Where are you even getting them from? Settlements take up about 5% of the west bank. So where is this 62% coming from?
