re: #369 Lynn B.

Good question. And I keep wondering … beyond the expansion of existing “settlements” for growth, why again is the building of new Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria an obstacle to peace? Assuming, of course, that they’re built on land that doesn’t belong to someone else (which is not always the case, I know).

Is the building of Arab communities in Israel considered an obstacle to peace? Of course not. Because it is assumed that when “peaces comes,” Arabs will continue to live peacefully alongside Jews in Israel.

So why is it equally assumed that when “peace comes” there will not be a single Jew permitted to live in “Palestine?” And why is this assumption never ever questioned?

And why is it accepted that the Palestinians can throw out Jews, but that Israel can’t send all its Arabs to Palestine?
I’m not saying Israel should expel its Arabs, just asking why it is acceptable for “Palestine” to expel Jews but Israel isn’t supposed to expel Arabs.
