re: #12 Bob Levin

This is a conflict like Poland and Germany when you are trying to determine borders for a sovereign nation. Your analogy is false because the the Israeli settlements disrupt the process to form a sovereign Palestinian state. By saying that the settlements are just neighborhood disputes, you are dodging the problem by not acknowledging that the Palestinians have both a desire and a right for self-determination. It’s not a matter of learning to share land with the Israelis — they’ve been doing that since ‘48 — but giving them their own land.
