Even the Satmar are "Settlers"

Why is it that when Jews move to a location, build it up out of nothing and take up full residency including homes, schools, synagogues and businesses, it's always called "settling"? And the people are "settlers"?

Even when it happens in New York.

Don't believe me?

Here's an excerpt from the report on the Satmar Rebbe's death in the New York Times:-

By the time Moses died, the Williamsburg enclave had a population of about 35,000, spilling over into adjacent neighborhoods. The settlement in Kiryas Joel, in Orange County, had grown to more than 15,000 people after being established by a few settlers in the last years of Joel's life.

Now, is that not amazing?

P.S. That a Satmar Rebbe died on Holocaust Day indicates there is a God out there.
