Sounds So Much Less Hostile Coming From A Jewish Person
Ilissa Gold weighs in on the subject of settlements in Israeli occupied Palestinian land:
The settlements issue pisses me off more than anything. Here's how I describe it--let's say I decided to go into Mexico to create my own village. Let's say I decided to build my village on some Mexican's land. The Mexican protests, saying it's his land. Oh, but I have an ancient book that I believe was written by an invisible deity that says it's my land, so it doesn't matter whatever "deed" or "title" you may have that grants you the land under secular law. So now I build my village, and I set up roadblocks so that the Mexicans can't get anywhere near my village without going through checkpoints, which greatly impairs their ability to get around. And now they're getting pissed off, so they start throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails. So in response, I DEMAND that the U.S. government send in the Army to protect me.
In such a situation, do you think the U.S. government should send the Army in, or laugh in my face and remind me that I chose to live there and therefore have to deal with the consequences?

You're more than welcome to join my settlement (which since last night has evolved from a desert outpost to a tropical paradise in Cabo). But bring all your family members too so we can claim that the size of the settlement must be quadrupled due to "natural growth" in a few years!
But on a more serious note, the settlements issue relates directly to the issues of economics you discussed yesterday. What is capitalism but the free flow of labor and capital? You can't have that in a country where the labor and capital can't move around due to roadblocks.
Impresses me as a really difficult problem when you have some Jews and some Christians who have theological beliefs in this area. I don't know what, short of partial conversion, solves this.
