Israel quickly initiated a change of the legal status of Jerusalem and began a massive project of changing the so called "facts on the ground" in their new "Greater Jerusalem". Also countless UN resolutions calls on the gouvernment to cease the establishement, construction and planning of settlements on Arab territories occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem.<br /><br />"...But I think that if the settlers were willing to move (that is if the Israeli government were willing to tell them that they can choose to move or choose to be under a Palestinian government)...".<br /><br />Were the settlers in Gaza "willing" to move? <br /><br />I don't think even the most generous amount of money and priveliges would make the majority willing to move, and to be under a palestinian government is totally out of the question.<br /><br />If there ever is elected an Israeli government that respects the laws and the international society and a unified palestinian leadership capable of building a state and control violent fractions, then there is hope for a final peace solution.GHB til Frokosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550963805785532849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483395786574442901.post-29060833181104632822009-12-19T18:46:32.238-05:002009-12-19T18:46:32.238-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.GHB til Frokosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550963805785532849noreply@blogger.com
