I've never quite understood the use of the term "settlers" as a pejorative. America is a nation built on the labor of settlers. I guess we're beyond the point where it has any meaning. Settlers implying productive labor, it's easier to focus on immigrants. Which many settlers were as well. In any case, the only governing document in the case of today's Israeli settlers is the British Mandate, incorporated by the UN, which states Jews can settle anywhere between the river and the sea. Jordan having been taken from them and given to the Hashemites in 1923. Despite that, no new settlements of any consequence in decades. In fairness, I doubt President Trump knows much about that aspect of the issue. I wouldn't lose much sleep over it. Though the construction of a Judenrein state really isn't something the US should be supporting. Shouldn't have supported it in Gaza or Iraq either. Smart or not, there were Jews who wanted to stay (Gaza) and return and start business' (Iraq). We shouldn't have supported the ban.
Which Indian reservation was he flying over when he formulated that response?
