This isnt a huge surprise tbh. There are isralis who have made their lives in the westbank. Yes it wasnt the 'brightest of ideas' and yes 'it should not have happened' but it did. And its not entirely Israel's fault that its arab neighbours decided to prepare a strike against Israel that went bad so long ago and therefore lost the land Israel should now be giving back.

The thing is that some of the people living there have nothing to do with the continued occupation of the land. THey live there and are jewish and part of israel but they are just ordinary people trying to make their lives as best they can.

Obviously i dont agree with the wall or the continued Israeli use of the military against soft targets but its not quite as black and white as most people would like it to be. Its a shame they cant all just 'get along'.


However this isnt really going to do the US any favours. Especially seeing as its come from a lower source than the president himself. Maybe its to test the water. He can always deny that was said and claim that the guy was not speaking for the administration but only for himself etc...
