israels-settlers-are-here-to-stay

Although Israel's relationship to the United Nations has been fraught, she remains signatory to the U.N. charter. That charter asserts that "all people have the right of self-determination". That applies to Palestinians as surely as to Jews. If a few Jews want to stay and apply for citizenship in the new Palestinian state just as Palestinians Arabs stay as citizens in Israel, that should be satisfactory to everyone. I expect that most of the settlers will prefer to move into Israel.
