Reply #4: Before the intifada

[TomClash]

did the occupation end? Were the settlements dismantled?

There's always a "new peace process." And the occupation always continues. The reason for Israeli "disengagement" is not to start a new peace process but to consolidate, legitimize and expand the remaining settlements and to avoid an Eretz Israel with an Arab majority.

While I wish you were correct, perhaps your commentary is a trifle oversimplified.
