Israeli settlements are civilian communitiesinhabited by Israeli citizens, almost exclusively of Jewish ethnicity,[1][2] built predominantly on lands within the Palestinian territories, which Israel has militarily occupiedsince the 1967 Six-Day War,[3] and partly on lands considered Syrian territory also militarily occupied by Israel since the 1967 war. Such settlements within Palestinian territories currently exist in Area C of the West Bank and in East Jerusalem, and within Syrian territory in the Golan Heights.
A very small number of what?? in East Jerusalem.Seems to be a very small number in East Jerusalum only.All Arab settlements in Areas A and B are Muslims only.Yet the settlements are Jewish only.You are essentially saying that one must oppose all such actions across the world or you are guilty of picking on just one ethnicity.
Yes. Exactly this. This is exactly what I am saying.
When one holds a general policy of say, not doing business in places under settlement, but then applies that policy ONLY to Israel and not to all the other places of settlement in the world, you can no longer pretend that it doesn't have anything to do with the special treatment of Jews.
Many Arab settlements inside Israel are Arabs/Muslims only, as well.
In some cases, though, it is mixed population
Leave or let live? Arabs move in to Jewish settlements | Reuters
But it is Arabs being allowed to move into Jewish settlements, and not Jews being allowed to move into Arab settlements.
The same can be said of all the Christians who are not allowed to live in Areas A and B, the thousands who had to move out of Bethlehem since 1994, etc
There are Christians living in Area B and C.
What Arab settlements? The settlement movement and settlements have a pretty specific meaning:

Such settlements within Palestinian territories currently exist in Area C of the West Bank and in East Jerusalem, and within Syrian territory in the Golan Heights.
So when you talk about Arab settlements it would seem that the equivalent would be Arab Israeli communitees built on Palestinian lands occupied by Israel.
What settlements are those?
Yes, there are Christians living in Bethlehem, etc, but they are moving out, slowing and surely. Why would that be, because it is not because of Israel or Jews forcing them out.
Settlements is just a word for cities, towns, villages.
Areas A and B are all Arab "settlements". Arabs who Settled in those areas between 1948 and 1967, or even before that, since it is the Jews who were expelled from Judea and Samaria and not the Arabs in 1948. Christians also live in those settlements, cities, town, call them what one will. But it is the Jews who were expelled from all of those areas, from their cities in those areas in 1948.
Just as only Jews were expelled from TranJordan in 1925.
What "Palestinian Lands" "Occupied" by Israel?
Why weren't those same lands "Occupied" by Jordan between 1948 and 1967, but only "Occupied" once Israel won those areas in a war Jordan decided to enter in 1967, and lost?
I do not see the "Palestinian" uproar over those lands before 1967.
Quite the opposite.
The PLO itself states that the only lands they were going after, in 1964, were the lands very much described as .......Israel. Nothing else.

What settlements are those?
As I said.....It is only "Occupied" when it is by Israel, and not by Jordan.Nope.That is a fundementally dishonest argument. The opposition is to a nation's policy of building large scale communitees that often include questionably legal or even illegal means of obtaining land from resident communitees.
I think it is you with the dishonest argument.
Are you suggesting that it is totally fine for Israel to build communities in Area C on any land which does not "belong" to the small existing Arab Palestinian communities?
I have said this before already. Those who lived there when the area was taken should continue on. Outsiders, whether Jewish or Arab, should not be immigrating in until it's status is resolved.
Right. So your previous argument was dishonest. It has nothing at all to do with questionable or illegal means of obtaining land from resident communities.
Lived in the area when it was "taken" when? And why that specific time period?
Because it was in that time period that it became occupied territory.
They get "immunity" for being Arabs and MuslimsA very small number of what?? in East Jerusalem.Seems to be a very small number in East Jerusalum only.All Arab settlements in Areas A and B are Muslims only.Yet the settlements are Jewish only.Yes. Exactly this. This is exactly what I am saying.

Funny how that works
I dont see how that is relevent.
No. Settlements and settlers have a very specific meaning and is a very specific movement. Not just towns and villages that grow organically from human activity.A very small number of what?? in East Jerusalem.Seems to be a very small number in East Jerusalum only.
There are Christians living in Area B and C.
What Arab settlements? The settlement movement and settlements have a pretty specific meaning:
Wikipedia
Israeli settlements are civilian communitiesinhabited by Israeli citizens, almost exclusively of Jewish ethnicity,[1][2] built predominantly on lands within the Palestinian territories, which Israel has militarily occupiedsince the 1967 Six-Day War,[3] and partly on lands considered Syrian territory also militarily occupied by Israel since the 1967 war. Such settlements within Palestinian territories currently exist in Area C of the West Bank and in East Jerusalem, and within Syrian territory in the Golan Heights.
So when you talk about Arab settlements it would seem that the equivalent would be Arab Israeli communitees built on Palestinian lands occupied by Israel.
What settlements are those?
Yes, there are Christians living in Bethlehem, etc, but they are moving out, slowing and surely. Why would that be, because it is not because of Israel or Jews forcing them out.
Settlements is just a word for cities, towns, villages.
Areas A and B are all Arab "settlements". Arabs who Settled in those areas between 1948 and 1967, or even before that, since it is the Jews who were expelled from Judea and Samaria and not the Arabs in 1948. Christians also live in those settlements, cities, town, call them what one will. But it is the Jews who were expelled from all of those areas, from their cities in those areas in 1948.
Just as only Jews were expelled from TranJordan in 1925.
What "Palestinian Lands" "Occupied" by Israel?
Why weren't those same lands "Occupied" by Jordan between 1948 and 1967, but only "Occupied" once Israel won those areas in a war Jordan decided to enter in 1967, and lost?
I do not see the "Palestinian" uproar over those lands before 1967.
Quite the opposite.
The PLO itself states that the only lands they were going after, in 1964, were the lands very much described as .......Israel. Nothing else.
What is more organic than Jews settling in Judea?
The most natural human behavior.
You're obsessed with singling out a single ethnic group, that's why they gather in separate groups.
So it is perfectly fine then fir Arabs to move in create new communitees and settle in Judea?
Israeli Arabs?
I'm not sure their families would approve, most likely it endangers their parents and family in their home villages.
But Arabs living in Jewish settlements in the next decades is inevitable, they already go there to study, it will be like Tel-Aviv only more traditional.
It's the Arab settlements that stay exclusive.
Seems to be a very small number in East Jerusalum only.All Arab settlements in Areas A and B are Muslims only.
Many Arab settlements inside Israel are Arabs/Muslims only, as well.
In some cases, though, it is mixed population
Leave or let live? Arabs move in to Jewish settlements | Reuters
But it is Arabs being allowed to move into Jewish settlements, and not Jews being allowed to move into Arab settlements.
The same can be said of all the Christians who are not allowed to live in Areas A and B, the thousands who had to move out of Bethlehem since 1994, etc
There are Christians living in Area B and C.

What settlements are those?
A question based on a false premise and definition.
Arab settlements are the likes of the Bedouin communities that we have heard on the news recently, and other UN illegally established Arab communities on land that was vested with Jewish sovereignty under international law.
Going to deny they exist?
Did the Bedouin immigrate into that area to build communitees?
Which illegal UN communitees and where?
Why are there no legal new Arab commu itees there?
Yes,
In Judea,
there are, You're spreading deception.
OMG that is it?
One pathetic bunch of houses?
I was expecting this...
