I assume you had space limitations but one thing I would throw in, UNSC resolution 242 is specifically worded with the assumption that Israel would not return all of the land conquered in 1967. If it is not returning all the land - that means that it is allowed to keep some under 242 and if it is keeping some, then obviously can do with it as it likes including settle it.dmetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883129846957951969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-33008113020662556602009-06-30T01:25:29.241+03:002009-06-30T01:25:29.241+03:00"...lacking any sense of the true sanctity of...<em>"...lacking any sense of the true sanctity of the Land of Israel..."</em><br /><br />You lost me there. How does wanting to live on and populate our Land constitute a "lack" of anything, let alone a "sense of the true sanctity of the Land?"<br /><br />And, though I don't live there, yoni's comments resonate with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-64068236142058038182009-06-29T22:59:57.836+03:002009-06-29T22:59:57.836+03:00"That's why I have problems with Hareidim..."That's why I have problems with Hareidim. They're self-centered, lacking any sense of the true sanctity of the Land of Israel and they don't tell the truth in full."<br /><br />reb yisroel, i too live in shilo, and i am certainly no haredi. furthermore, i have great respect for your person and your blog, and agree in large part with your expressed positions. however, i respectfully submit that generalizations such as the above do nothing to further the cause of ahavat yisroel...in either sense of the term, um...yisroel. let's try and stick together as much as possible, yes? there aren't that many of us, after all, and a blog is a public forum, as you may have temporarily forgotten.<br /><br />anyway, keep up the good work!yoninoreply@blogger.com
