There is an interesting new perspective on settlement building: they are for self-defense!

This is a pretty simple issue.
Are the Palestinians better served by lobbing rockets, or renouncing violence.
Everything else is really beside the point here. Even if Israel would not stop building settlements if they stopped shooting rockets, shooting rockets certainly is not going to deter them. You guys seem to be giving reason for normative reasons why the palistinians are pissed. That's looking back, not looking forward. At the end of the day is is blatantly obvious the palistians would be in a better position if they all renoucned violence. Even if you dont think israel is being honest, the palistians have nothing to lose by stopping the violence, and everything to gain. Everything else is just a normative argument about who is morally right, which is completely irrelevant when it comes to reaching a solution.
