4. the settlements are the fundamental problem and a waste of money - but in the
Geneva/Taba construct there is a land trade so as to keep only the settlements nearest the border with the most population within Israel.

Some very large Israeli settlement towns will go over to Palestinian control.

And I agree as to the posters thought that the settlements are not the cause of all the fighting - and that doing things differently post 73 would have not have changed much.

But when peace is finally put on the table (with compensation for but no physical right of return), the settlements outside of the land swap will have to become Palestinian territory.
