We can expect to see alot more heated discussion in the coming months over settlements, as Sharon’s Gaza plan moves forward and everyone involved in the debate senses change in the air.
Jeffrey Goldberg, who recently made a splash with a New Yorker article on the settlers, now has a NY Times op-ed on the radical ‘hilltop youth,’ whom he claims to have personally heard threatening Sharon’s life. Goldberg seems to be specializing in this fringe crowd recently — but does his focus misrepresent the larger settlement movement?
Meanwhile, Herb Keinon makes a distinction between that extreme crowd and the more established West Bank communities such as Maale Adumim, in an effort to understand the terms of the roadmap’s requirement to stop building settlements.
