  • Actually, when people DO visit Palestine (in this context I'm referring to the West Bank and Gaza) they cannot avoid the sight of illegal (according to international law) Israeli settlements. Those visiting Israel are more likely to miss them - unless they're actually visiting the settlements themselves of course. Personally, I think the continued confiscation of Palestinian land for the building of what many refer to as Israeli colonies is the biggest hindrance to peace between Israelis and Palestinians. For a more in depth view on this issue, visit www.fmep.org, a site by the Foundation for Middle East Peace.
