rruff, I understand what you are saying, but I believe the settlements outside the 1967 boundaries are illegal under international law. I think the Israeli Supreme Court also determined that these are considered "occupied territories" - not part of Israel. I believe occupying this area only hurts Israel in the long-term, as they are now viewed in these areas - and rightly - as the oppressors - not the oppressed. Just as I think our occupation of Iraq puts us in a similar role - and also does not help us in the long-term. t
