Israel was a constant victim of evil perpetrators crossing their borders and wreaking havoc in the kibbutzim, in the cities, and in the suburbs as well as the farms. The settlements acted as a post to let the parties know that they were undaunted in the government’s power And would not be compressed and destroyed by terrorism.

And imagine if they were a free press, access, and an Internet as the United States made the westward expansion. But there wasn’t: No war crimes there to be seen, the appropriation of Native American lands in appropriately, no massacres, no nothing. Hey. It’s America and we can do no wrong. But Israelis are guilty a priori.
