Redemption Progress

“We have to make progress on settlements,” Mr Obama said. “Settlements have to be stopped.”

That's all wrong.

True progress is towards the time when Jews have a strong national home in all the areas that make it up, secure, economically contributive to its population, its neighbors and the world, its religious values, ethics and culture frimly implanted. The time of redemption in however prism - secular, religious and atheist - that you view it.

The communities (aka "settlements") are one of the vehicles of that progress.
