Sure. There are settlements in the heart of Gaza and in the heart of the West Bank. It's unforgiveable and is one of the most legitimate reasons the Palestinians have to attack Israelis. However, even that is a shaky reason. Did you know there are large American settlements in Costa Rica as well as in some Mexican resort areas? But we don't get terrorized by Costa Ricans or Mexicans. We all get along. They enjoy the commerce that Americans bring and the Americans enjoy a beautiful place to live alongside a peaceful and friendly native community. Did you know there are large Jewish, Puerto Rican, Italian, Irish, Arab, Chinese, etc. settlements in Ney York? Those settlements don't have to be defended by their respective countries, because those immigrants have found a tolerant and open culture among Americans. Everyone has learned to live side by side in the melting pot. Not always peacefully, but they have been assimilated successfully. The Palestinians can't allow Jews to live in their lands, not because the Jews are doing anything wrong by living there because those Jews DID PURCHASE those lands legally from Arabs, but because the Palestinians hatred of Jews takes precedence over any other thought in their heads. Arabs in the Middle East in general are taught from birth that Jews are the offspring of apes and pigs and are not fit to live. Their hatred of Jews is complete. If I was Sharon, I'd dismantle all settlements simply because they are indefensible. They don't make strategic sense. But for you to defend the Palestinian actions of murder and terror would be laughable to me, if the subject matter weren't so horrific.
