re: #532 Obdicut

Oh, absolutely. It’s almost more of an insult. It’s frustrating as hell— since the only hope of peace in the region is for the Arab states to make concessions— or for the Palestinians to throw off the patronizing yoke the Arab states have put on them.

The #1 obstacle to peace is not “settlements” but the utter refusal of the Arabs to allow the existence of the Jewish homeland on “their” turf. “Settlements” (i.e. Jews building towns and villages in areas that have been declared Jew-free) is just a subset of that rejectionist mindset.
