This AP caption would have us believe the northern Israeli town of Metullah is a ‘settlement.’
It’s not (well, at least not in that way):
Baron Edmond de Rothschild founded Metulla in 1896. Rothschild purchased the land from Druze owners. Then he helped immigrants from Russia to settle the land. Many of the immigrants were fleeing pogroms – riots against Jewish people – that were taking place during that period in Russia.
