Please explain to me why, if the Israelis only want peace, they continue to support Israeli settlers on Palestinian territory? Even though this violates a treaty they signed with Arafat in 1967.

1. There was no treaty in 1967.
2. Considering they are negotiating borders, isn't it premature to talk about Palestinian terriroty?
The Arabs consider Jews retuirning to the Jewish quarter of Old Jerusalem to be settlers!
Besides, the Arabs are also building new communities. Whence the double standard.

Also how does killing civilians, destroying houses, schools, hospitals, Police stations and electricity/water supply infrastructre, help stop future terrorism?

Ask the Bush administration about Afghanistan!
As to the specific points, the PA police commited terrist acts and hid other terrorists from teh Israelis.
The destruction of infrastructure was unfortunate, but t he terrorists purposely hid among civilians in order to maximize collatoral damage.

By the way I am not an antisemite. I have Jewish friends (not Israelis) and they are actually very critical of the methods use by Israel to defend itself.
I suppose these American Jews opposed bombing Afghanistan?

Actually, they are English and Russian. No, they didn't oppose the war in Afghanistan. In fact, the Russian was all for it, apparently Russia would have probably had a war with the Taliban in a couple of years anyway. The fact that the US and its allies are getting rid of the Taliban is great from the Russian perspective.

No, actually I am English and have never even visited the USA.
