Do Settlements Threaten Peace?
A new music video on Palestinian television glorifies the killing of Jewish settlers in Palestinian territory. Regardless of heightened security concerns around such sentiments, and the cost thereof, Sharon proclaims the settlers ain’t goin’ nowhere. Will such fanaticism be the undoing of a peaceful resolution to this conflict?
In other news, Remedy wraps up his Israeli tour; Israel’s kibbutzim are threatened with extinction; and Bush is skipping out on Israel’s 55th birthday bash.
It seems as though the answer is: YES, such fanaticism does hinder the peace process. How could it not?
