(3,385 posts)Let's say they signed such an oath. Would the Palestinian Arabs believe it and accept them as legitimate Palestinians instead of the imposition of the conqueror? I doubt it. Could the Palestinian Arabs be trusted to protect the security of the now Jewish Palestinians? Maybe, maybe not. Palestinian society is one of the most anti-Semitic on the planet. Add to that the natural distrust they have of the settlers, and the prospects don't look that good. Would the now Jewish Palestinians trust the Arabs to protect them? No. The Jews would retain their weapons and probably add to them increasing the instability. However you slice it, the point of the settlement movement was to extend Jewish domination over Judea and Samaria, and the continued presence of the settlers after a peace agreement is going to be seen as confirming that intent. There needs to be a full separation.
