At any rate, that was then, this is now. If you look at a map that shows Israel's borders pre-1967, the settlements are inside what, in theory, should become Palestinian territory. Either they go, or they don't. As I have said before, there is no 'theory' or UN resolution that says ALL of the territories must become Palestinian. So there is a matter of a "secure and defensible" border to be "negotiated" (I'm quoting from UN 242 here). Then, the settlements inside the Palestinian territory can become Palestinian, and the two governments can decide what to do with them. As I've said, Israel has a million Arabs, so I'm unclear what principle requires the 23rd Arab state of Palestine to be Jew-free. All this supposes that there was a Palestinian government to talk to, instead of a terrorist mob.
