I’m slightly frazzled today (possibly as a result of yesterday’s frenetic typing) and as a consequence can only muster a vague eye-brow raise swiftly followed by “gurrr” at the following:

What makes the settlement issue so contentious, in fact, is the refusal of the Palestinian Authority to accept, and to guarantee the safety of, Jewish settlers on land that one day could be part of a Palestinian state. If Jews were able to live securely in West Bank villages under Palestinian control, just as more than 1.3 million Arabs live safely in Israel, what would there be to quarrel about? [Source]

Where to begin?

The settlement issue is “so contentious” because of this, this, and this.

Not to mention this.

Shooting up shepherds is not the way forward.

Let’s just clarify that before urging West Bank residents to extend the hand of peace.
