The Isrealis are in the process of dismantling their settlements this very moment.
I applaud this, I think it's awome. I hope both sides find peace.
However, at the time the settlements were established, they had been attacked from all sides, many Israelis died, they fought back very hard & ultimately won the war.
Many of the settlements were/are being established long after the six day war. As for the buffer zone arguments, how come most of these settlements are full of nice houses and neighborhoods that look like a small town in New Jersey or something?
If it smells like a landgrab, looks like a landgrab, it's probably a landgrab.
It dosn't help anything when the Isrealies actually belive the land is theirs by divine fiat. Not that the muslems are any better, the tragic irony is that the Jews and the muslems share the same religious history. They BOTH belive god gave 'em the land.
