A West Bank settler has the following brilliant insight:
"We didn't come back here to live in exile," she said.
There are some Jews, she said, who do not believe that the land is holy and that it can be exchanged or given away. "It [the Land of Israel] is like a body. You do not divide it," she said.
I'm no historian, but I suspect something that analogizes land or a people or a nation to a living body is bound to end up very badly.
