5. Except that is not all they are doing

You mention Obama/Kerry - yet it was VERY clear in his Saban talk that he feels that the settlements already in the works work against a two state solution. They are already building in many places that were likely to be Palestinian. Some of Netanyahu's more radical cabinet members are calling for annexing all of area C. Are you in favor of a two state solution?

If Netanyahu does scale up the settlements under Trump, he may have the historical honor of being the man who made it impossible for Israel to be a democratic, Jewish state. The actions of the last two years have made it pretty clear that liberal Zionism is becoming a non viable idea. I would expect that in Europe and among many liberal Americans more will join the BDS movement - many with great sadness for what could have been.
