Moving there for the 'religious statement' bit though usually results in the expansion of settlements.
The more who feel it is their right to be there (I'm speaking about those making a purely cultural choice) the more the bulldozers have to come out to make way for them.
Then the newcomers can claim automatic presecution status should anyone see anything amiss.
That has to stop I think. For now at least.
If there can be a way where Israel can open its borders to whoever it chooses without the desctruction of anything it its way then that's fine.
If the Jewish people feel they need a homeland then of course they should have one. I have slight understanfing of the historical implications.
It just ain't viable that everyone joins in as they wish for now, is it?

It's ironic that Israel's bullying and displacing of the Palestinians is partially due to the same justifications that the Nazis used to invade their neighbors- "Leibensraum"- very expansionist and based on concepts of 'manifest destiny' and superiority. The same racial/religious imperative that fucked over the American Indians, too.
