that's ridiculous.

Actually, they are very accurately referred to as Jewish settlements, since many Israeli's are Arab and a decent number Christian. The Arab and Christian Israeli's are not establishing the settlements - the Jewish ones are. So therefore, "Jewish settlement" is clearer.

Furthermore, the nationality of the bombing perpetrators is not known. I think we can safely ASSUME they're Palestinians, but I doubt they'd been identified before the article went to print. However, eyewitnesses identified them as Arab. So again, it's accurate to refer to them as Arabs.
