>> The Palestinians had better recognize that once the Israeli settlers have departed, they will no longer be an occupied power. And should they attack Israel after that, from that territory, Israel will have every right of self-defense.

After they've turned the place into rubble, What difference will that make ? I don't think the Israelis have any intention of letting palestinians live in peace. Their plan is to make life intolerable for palestinians, so eventually they will leave. If not the old people, then the young ones looking for a better life.

The palestininians hang on hoping something will turn up for them. But as long as the the US mid-east policy is under the sway of the Israeli lobbies, nothing will change.

...there's no truly objective news coverage...

No joke, that. Worse still, there appears to be no truly objective source of historical facts, either. Some reading for the curious is below.

Broad overview covering modern history from the end of the Ottoman empire, relatively objective:
mideastweb.org

Lots of detailed history but with an Israeli perspective:
palestinefacts.org

Somewhat detailed history with an Arab perspective:
