Those facts on the ground now include some 120,000 Israeli settlers dotted throughout the West Bank and a further 5,000 in Gaza - territory that Israel, by the logic of the Oslo peace process, ultimately intends to cede to a Palestinian state. Needless to say the settlers, who are predominantly armed ideologues laying claim...
