The basic difference between the two undertakings is that the settlement project that preceded Israel’s establishment was intended to create the territorial basis for the future Jewish state. It wasn’t intended to deprive the Arabs of everything that was left or, for that matter, their right to a state of their own alongside the Jewish state. (more…)

The state of Israel was predicated on ethnic cleansing and brutality… These illegal settlements (or “outposts” if you prefer to distinguish between degrees of illegality) are founded on the same ideology of exclusion and oppression. I have to agree with the settlers on this point: their behavior is no different than the behavior that accompanied the creation of Israel…
