How does someone leave if they are stuck in an open air prison ?If the individual does not have confidence that his community will render decisions he can abide by then he should leave.
So it isn't then is it as Israel continues to expand the illegal settlements doesn't it .it is if it forms part of a process whereby israel de-legitimises settlement in the occupied territories.
Sharons government who that article claims was pulling out of the quagmire put out tenders for the construction of 55 new settlements .
Olmerts government has put out tenders for another 7 .
and that is only the official ones , it doesn't count groups like the Kahane offshoot "hilltop youth " who just park a couple of caravans surround them with razor wire and claim that they have just made more Israel .
The settler population has gone 22,000 in the west bank a short while back to 282,000 ,
East Jerusalem has gone from 76,000 to 184,000 and Golan has gone from 7,000 to 18,000 .
If you consider that an act of de-legitimising settlement you have a rather strange view of things .
