at the end of the day why should the US reward these people that have been living illegally in occupied land with probably brand new, spacious, comfortable homes inside of some area that is agreed to be part of Israel? Because we gotta get 'em out of there and Israel doesn't want it badly enough. Getting them out of there is easier than $2 billion, it just takes GB-style "resolve". For example, give them one month's eviction notice and then bomb them for 2-3 weeks. That would get them out of there. Keep in mind, aside from those in the remote outposts, a lot of the settlers (maybe most) are not religious fanatics, but people who were lured to the territories by the Israeli government with financial incentives. I'm not sure it's fair to punish those people for that. Come on! What kind of nutcase agrees to live in a colonist community where your neighbors are primarily oppressed peasants that want to kill you, because they think you are on their land? That's not some poor misled innocent bystander. And heck, wouldn't that have been a better use for hundreds of billions of dollars than going to Iraq? Totally separate discussion. We'll do that one.....oh never mind, we do that one every day.
