The problem with many of the settlers is that they are right-wing extremist Jews, just as there are left-wing extremist Palestinians. I'm not saying that this is true of all of them; but it certainly has been true for a majority of them <b>from what I have read</b>. They feel that they have a God-given right to be in the West Bank, and they aren't going to let a bunch of filthy sand niggers take that away from them. Look, for example, at how much Baruch Goldstein is celebrated. Many Israeli settlers will label him as a "hero" - one that killed 29 innocent Palestinians.

The settlers are generally of the far-right type and, truth be told, I have less sympathy for them than I do those who actually live within Israel and are hurt by terrorism. Their self-righteousness makes it hard for me to feel sorry for them.
