Israel's Settlement Policy
JMT:
I have always been a supporter of Israel. I am not a supporter of Israel's settlement policy. Today, the Trump Administration came out against the settlements (!). I agree with this position (I hope I don't have to say that many times). What are your feelings on Israel's settlement policy?
Blueblood:
The settlement policy is Israel thinking strategically to shore up their gains in the 1967 war which helped secure their country. It is leverage in negotiations nothing more.
JMT:
It's also, IMO, the irritant cause of some of the violence in the region today (though definitely not the only irritant.
Blueblood:
I think the state of Israel being there is an irritant of itself. The elites of the Muslim world don't like not being in charge of Israel and it drives them nuts.
Super Colin Blow:
I take the same position: I want Israel to survive, but I think the settlements are in the long run going to hurt them.
