"But Rachel Braslavi does not see herself as living on Palestinian land: "No. I don't. I think that some of the first places that Jews arrived to back in Biblical times were in Judea and Samaria. So, to me, this is part of our indigenous right to be here."

Lady needs to reread what she said.

"West Virginia native Rachel Braslavi says she moved into her new home so that her family could have more space, and more of a community feel. But she faces bigger questions than she might with a typical home purchase. Their community is the Israeli settlement of Karnei Shomron, located inside the occupied West Bank.

Asked if she sees her family of settlers as impediments to peace, Braslavi replied, "No. I don't. I really don't. I feel that we have a right to be here. And I feel that the Palestinians have a right to be here."

I find it hilarious that people like this person from West Virginia pretends that she can be there because she wants to but Palestinians need to go through hoops.

"Makovsky blamed the terror group Hamas, which he said "has really led to the growth of the Israeli right. If people in Israel thought that a Palestinian state was Costa Rica, they would line up to sign, 'cause they want to end the conflict. They just want to be safe. But if they feel a Palestinian state is a mini-Iran, you can't find enough people in the phone booth."

Yeah it nothing to do with the Palestinians being locked up and heavily restricted to doing anything. No siree!
