APARTHEID NATION :

I'm sure other folks have noticed this, but it really just hit home with me this morning--on the Diane Rehm Show they were talking about how "of course" any peace deal would require rounding up the 200,000 Israeli settlers and moving them out of Palestine. So here's my question : Why?

Suppose that the Israelis were black, would we so blithely accept the notion that the Palestinians refuse to permit them to remain after they get statehood? And if the Palestinians plan on "cleansing" themselves of Jews when they get control, then why shouldn't Israel, which is in control now (kinda), cleanse Palestine of the Palestinians?
