Rattling the Cage: Imagine Palestinian settlers in Israel
.
What would you say if, for the past 42 years, streams of Palestinians had continually crossed the Green Line and, under protection of Palestinian soldiers stationed in Israel, had established communities a few kilometers outside Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beersheba, Tiberias, Eilat, etc., etc. All over. Typically on hilltops looking down on you.

There are about 125 Jewish settlements in the West Bank that exist because the IDF defends them; let's say that instead, there were 125 Palestinian settlements in Israel that existed because Palestinian troops defended them. If somebody said to you, "These are just Palestinian families living in Palestine, they're not an obstacle to peace," what would you say?

But since when has sanity ruled the I/P conflict?

Difficult to imagine, but why not?...

Israel has stated that the West Bank is all 'negotiable'....Israel does not say what it claims is its eastern border so why shouldn't the whole of Israel/Palestine be 'negotiable'?
