For clarity.....the term 'settlement' is misleading.
Informative (as usual), but it seems to beg a larger question: Why are these cities/settlements being built where they are?
Is it because land within the pre-1967 borders is scarce or undesirable? Or is it a declaration of ownership and/or bargaining chip regarding the land acquired by Israel after that time? Or maybe both?
The only permanent element in the Middle East seems to be enduring conflict.
