I have to admit I found this article in Salon really silly. It's about an American settler in the West Bank who thinks it's great that they have a cheap suburban life, and dismisses those who would consider them an impediment to the peace process by saying this:
But right now, I believe that if we do leave the settlements, the violence will only follow us.
Though I think that statement is probably true, it is an argument against any possible peace, not a justification for the settlements.
