So, There Really Are "Arab Settlements"

I have been suggesting that just as there exist, at least as a political semantic term, "Jewish settlements" although I reject the term "settlements" and prefer "communities", in any case, there certainly then are "Arab communities".

Well, listen to Nabil al-Shaath and his concern for 1.5 million "Palestinians" in Israel in this clip below:


I guess, then, that there really are "Palestinian settlements".

Will they have to be dismantled and their residents expelled for peace, just like Abbas says* as regards Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria?

Abbas Tells US Lawmakers he wants State Empty of Settlements

RAMALLAH, August 11, 2011 (WAFA) - President Mahmoud Abbas Thursday told a delegation from the United States Senate and House of Representatives that he is seeking a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with Jerusalem as its capital, empty of settlements. The delegation, led by Senator Steny Hoyer, is on an official visit to Israel and the Palestinian Territory. Abbas...stressed that the Palestinians’ first, second and third choice is to establish the Palestinian state through negotiations, stressing that settlements contradict with the peace process...


Well, do they?
