re: #49 Alouette

Jews building houses is not the problem. Israel removed every last “settler” from Gaza and turned over the “settlements” and their greenhouse industry. How well did that work out?

Focusing on “settlements” as an issue is a red herring.

It never was about settlements or settlers, of course.

In a nutshell, it was because Jews did in 50 years what the Arab world could not do in 2000 years- they created a modern, functioning society in the region- and a free one at that.

For some shame societies, the only way to get rid of the shame is to eliminate the source of shame.
