Summary: Finding fault without logic
Review: Israels west bank settlements, for all the ire they cause, are an extension of the 5 thousand year Jewish existance in the holy land, an existance that waqs almost cut short in 1948.For example take the most steadfast settlers of Kiryat Arba outside of Hebron. THe author rags on these people beyond beleif in an unbiased manner which smacks of his dislike and knee jerk reaction to the term 'settler'. But the very brave Jews who live in hebron today are merely extensions of the jewish community that has always existed in hebron. Unfortunatly this age old community was virtually whiped out in the Arab riots of 1929 and they have only recently returned, standing up to those that beleive they should be thrown into the sea. THis book is a biased account of these Jewish pioneers who settled a wild land and made it productive. THis is the account of the extension of Zionism into the West Bank and Gaza. In 1948 the Jordanian army and its arab militias whiped out the Jews of the Etzion Bloc in the West Bank and closed the Old Jewish quarter of Jerusalum. Yet the author condemns the Jews who wished to return to their ancestral lands following the 67' war. THis book, one of the few on the subject deserves some merit because it does shed light on these people, unfortunatly its a biased light.

Summary: Lacks Objectivity!
Review: This was an extremely one-sided book pertaining to a very complex issue. Don't even waste your time!
