Reply #102: I favor the end of the Occupation, and the abandonment of all settlements.

[Ken Burch]

As to Israelis being allowed to stay...they should be allowed to, IF they take up Palestinian citizenship and are willing to accept that it is land for them to SHARE, but not MORE their land than it is that of the Palestinians-but not ON the settlements-rather they should live at a level of equality with everyone else. I'd be MORE comfortable with allowing the descendants of indigenous Jewish people to move back than allowing the settlers to stay...since the settlers NEVER had a tradition, unlike the indigenous, of trying to live in harmony or equality with their Palestinian neighbors.

If the settlements were allowed to remain, they would take up so much of the territory of Palestine that they would make it impossible to establish a Palestinian state. That was the whole point of BUILDING those settlements in the first place-to make a Palestinian state impossible.

The real issue that Palestinians had was, specifically, with the settlers. Not "The Jews", the settlers. There's a HUGE difference between the two.

And that's the LAST question you're entitled to ask me. You've been acting like a prosecuting attorney towards me all day in this thread and I've done nothing to deserve such treatment.
