In Palestinian Eyes, All of Israel Is a "Settlement"
(Jerusalem Post) Alan Joseph Bauer - From the language of UN Resolution 2334, one might conclude that the Palestinians regard everything on the other side of the 1949 armistice line as being Israel. But do the Palestinians really believe that? In March 2002, my son and I were both wounded in a suicide bombing on King George Street in west Jerusalem, well within the 1948 Israeli borders. Yet the Al-Aksa Brigades, a division of Fatah that took responsibility for the bombing, described it as having taken place in "occupied Jerusalem." The Palestinians view all of Israel as illegally held by the Jews.
