Define a Settler

I am, as it happens, Jewish but have scrupulously avoided parochial commentary in this forum, but as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acquiesces to Obama's desires and betrays his own base by agreeing to a ten-month "settlement freeze", I feel I have no choice but to comment. Either Israel has a Biblical claim, a right to exist on the land as was ordained by God Himself or the Jewish state is a wholly illegitimate enterprise. I believe and am firmly convicted that the Lord commended the Holy Land to the Jewish people who after generations of exile for a large diaspora (but with a continued presence through most of that sad era as a minority in some places on the Land) have fulfilled their called destiny and returned to what was Promised. After the Zionists emerged and the state was born, access to holy sights of all faiths was maintained only by the Jews as the Arab-administered areas systematically excluded Jewish religious practice, limited Christian access, and indeed, even desecrated ancient Jewish graves and holy sites routinely. Jews have not crafted some exclusionary Zionist entity but welcomed the world to worship and even after liberating East Jerusalem in 1967, continued to allow Muslims to administer the Dome of the Rock. Israel has been successfully demonized as a Nazi-like tyranny with poor repressed Arabs as victims of the Jews, but the Jews have been the targets of Arab animus leading to murder long before the Jewish state came into being in 1948. Jews were the dispossessed people reclaiming what was rightfully theirs, and it is my belief that Jews have an absolute right to live anywhere on the Land. There are no "settlers". Settlers are Jewish citizens of the sovereign state of Israel. They can not and should not be distinguished from their brothers and sisters in Tel Aviv. If it is right for a Jew to live in Netanya or Herzliya, it is equally right for a Jew to reside in Hevron. What Obama has demanded and Netanyahu now has kowtowed to is inherently racist, wrong, and a slap at the God of the Bible. Ten million people calling a dog a horse does not make it so. A minority of the righteous will ultimately prevail over a vast assembly of the wicked. Either no Jew should be anywhere on the Land or all are there as answer to a Divine Promise. World pressure, Muslim hatred, Arab oil money, Obama's wrongheadedness, and even Netanyahu's craven capitulation can never thwart or reverse the Will of God.
