I heard Avrum Berg say this in 2003-4. Not new, but still pragmatic. But nobody – Jewish or Palestinian, should have to resort to relinquishing their rights. It’s an option which must be done as two collectives – Jewish and Palestinian, by their respective governments, as a concrete move towards end of claims.

@Palestinian – “so its either we enjoy the violence of the honest burglar or accept the status quo as our “decent” settler suggested ?”
.
The status quo, as I see it, is my country’s occupation of Hebron, East Jerusalem and the West Bank and the encagement (just coined a new word) of Gaza. I don’t accept it, so I wouldn’t ask it of you. What do you see as the status quo, Palestinian?

“or you consider all Jewish towns and villages illegitimate, which takes the debate to a whole different place.”
And what a wonderful place that is. Let’s go there, shall we?

Actually, yes, Aristeides, I met a woman in Israel who provided the deeds to her family’s property and forced out settler squatters, and turned it into a museum.

@Palestinian, @Sinjin

One note: Tel Katzir, the settlement at hand, is on the Israeli side of the old Syrian border. It was established in 1949 on what was an abandoned Syrian military outpost.

Either the word “settlements” caused the confusion, or you consider all Jewish towns and villages illegitimate, which takes the debate to a whole different place.
