Why "Settlements" is a Bad Word

Because it leads to misunderstandings:-

PROVIDENCE, R.I.

A speaker maker and two bus companies have agreed to pay a combined $1.3 million in tentative settlements stemming from a 2003 fire at a nightclub that killed 100 people, according to court papers filed Wednesday.

The companies agreed to pay survivors and families of victims of the fire that started when a pyrotechnics display for the band Great White ignited flammable foam that lined the walls of The Station in West Warwick. More than 200 people were injured.

The word to describe Jewish revenant residential sites is "communities".

And What About Arab "Settlements"?

NYT reports:-

Saudi officials said a precondition of its attendance was that the conference tackle the four big “final status” issues that had bedeviled peace negotiators since 1979: the fate of Palestinian refugees who fled or were forced to flee their homes in Israel, mostly before or during the 1948 war; the status of Jerusalem; the borders of a Palestinian state; and the dismantlement of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

And Arab "settlements"? In Israel?

Cannot we consider them illegal or, at the least, possible "switchers" for those Jewish revenant communities built in that portion of the Jewish historic patrimony originally intended to be the reconstituted Jewish homeland by the international community back in 1920-23?
