Why do the Israelis build settlements?

Yes, thanks for answering the question Alessan. It’s interesting that the establishment of settlements didn’t seem to be part of a grand plan (although Sal Ammoniac’s explanation about setting the stage for land swaps seems interesting) but rather the result of a series of decisions by multiple Israeli governments and non-governmental organizations with different and sometimes competing goals which led to the situation we have today. This may explain why it seems to me to have been short-sighted. And I don’t know what the solution to the issue might be today.

Alessan’s a real gem. LOL: I’d encourage you to pull that wool up from over your eyes.

Much reporting in the USA of the tens of thousands of Israelis marching in Tel Aviv on Saturday? Nah, thought not.
