When some Israeli developer built a subdivision on the West Bank, the Pals had the choice of accepting their new neighbors as neighbors. Like normal people do.

That "developer' was Ariel Sharon. He didn't just built settlements, he surrounded them with barbed wire, put in tanks to protect them, demolished existing towns to build on the ruins, connected them with Israeli-only roads and kept the existing residents from using them. Some developer. I hope he never comes to my neighborhood.

I think that the difference was that the Israelis could vote but the Palestinians could not.
