My thinking on Israel is gradually changing. It troubles me that "settlements" are in the Gaza and West Bank.

Not only is this clearly Palestinian territory, but the very word "settlement" is troubling. Using this word makes a Jewish incursion sound like a fortified village in aboriginal territory. Perhaps, at the base of everything, this attitude is what troubles me and (I believe) others.

Does it also trouble you that Americans settled Texas ?

It's almost as bad as say, colony.

If you don't fortify they will murder you quite savagely.

It certainly troubles Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. So now you have your others.
