The standard hasbara message in our community about the settlements and the settlement enterprise is essentially that everyone knows already, on both sides, what will happen to them if and when a final deal is negotiated and that they are not in any way an obstacle to peace. But the standard message is misleading. The settlements do in fact raise unsettling questions and challenges that need to be acknowledged and addressed by serious friends of Israel. This session will discuss some of these critical questions and challenges.
