Ariel is not by the Jordanian border, it is just few km west of Hertzelia. As for settlements, yes, a lot of them will be disbanded, though personally, I see no reason for it. Just as there are many Arab "settlements" within the green line, with peace, why should there not be Jewish settlements with the Palestinian state? It surely could help the economy of a future Palestinian state. Why cause more people displacement. After all a true peace should bring cooperation, not confrontation, leaving those settlements there would be an excellent test of the real intentions of a new second Palestinian state. Zeev

So, my feeling is that Israel should disband most of the settlements other than those right on the Green Line (Gush Etzion, Ma'aleh Adumim, etc) and finish the separation fence, declare that the border, and be done with the Palestinians. However, the Israelis seem to really want to keep Ariel, which is right by the Jordanian border. Let us not forget East Jerusalem......talk about a land grab. Not helping things is the fact that Jordan tacitly wants Israel to keep the land along the Jordanian border because they're deathly afraid of the Palestinians becoming their problem. I've never heard that.....where did you hear it? ted
