Pro

• Preventing Israeli settlements is a form of racism "In defense of 'settlements.'" LA Times. June 28, 2009: "There can be nothing illegal about a Jew living where Judaism was born. To suggest that residency be permitted or prohibited based on race, religion or ethnic background is dangerously close to employing racist terminology."

[]

Con

• Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem prejudice peace process. The Quartet of Middle East peacemakers issued a statement in March of 2010: "Unilateral action by the Israelis or Palestinians cannot prejudge the outcome of (peace) negotiations and will not be recognized by the international community."[1]
