I should add that I think the people who now live in the settlements maybe ought to have the choice of staying in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem if they want. But only if they are to live amongst the Palestinians with no special priveleges, and not in segregated, Jewish only enclaves accessed by Jewish only roads, and guarded by the IDF. And they should live under the laws and the government of Palestine, or whatever the Palestinians would choose to call their country. In other words, they would become Palestinian citizens, Jewish Palestinians, subject to all of the same freedoms and conditions that the Palestinian Christians and Muslims would be subject to.
