You keep forgetting that the Palestinians / Arab League has rejected all UN resolutions - Israel has accepted the UN resolutions <-- hence the problems.
Keep in mind that most of these (settlements) are inside Israel UN boarders - Palestine disputes them. Much are which renovation projects of 200 year old Jerusalem apartment buildings, to modernize them into the 21st century.
Jerusalem is a very hot subject and by the UN it is a shared city by both sides. Palestine believes only Muslims can rule over Holy Land and they never agree to the UN Resolutions to begin with.

Jerusalem isn't inside the borders of the original resolution -- it was intended to be a special UN-controlled city, part of neither the proposed Jewish nor Palestinian states. The settlements within Israel's original borders aren't the issue -- the ones it continues to develop in the lands it occupies outside of those borders are the problem ...

Ya being a little bit cryptic ? ?
I gather from what your saying - that after WWII and before the UN resolutions.
The Arab States should have then negotiated, which they sorta did on a one way solution - which was giving the UN the Big Stiff Arm. They choose instead , death to Israel. No matter what.
