Yeah, I can understand what they're saying, and they don't understand why they're wrong. First, most Israelis who live in Judea-Samaria live in urban blocks, and that accounts for about 90% of the population. And everybody recognizes that those urban blocks are going to be part of Israel in any future arrangement.

So they're really arguing about something that has already been decided and agreed upon, really, by Americans, even by Arabs, many Arabs. They don't think that Israel is going to dismantle these blocks. And you look outside the window here. And within about a kilometer, a mile from here, is you have Jerusalem. Half of Jerusalem grew naturally beyond the old 1967 border.

So you're not going to dismantle half of Jerusalem. That's not going to happen. And most people don't expect that. Then you have the other 10% scattered in tiny, you know, small communities. And people say, well, you're going to have to take them out. Why? Why? Remember that in pre-1967 Israel, we have over a million and a half Arabs here.

We don't say, oh, Israel has to be ethnically cleansed from Arabs in order to have, from its Arab citizens, in order to have peace. Of course not. Jews can live among Arabs, and Arabs can live among Jews. And what is being advanced by those people who say that we can't live in our ancestral homeland, in these disputed areas? Nobody says that this is Palestinian areas.

And nobody says that these are Israeli Arabs. We claim them. They claim them. We've only been attached to this land for, oh, 3,500 years. But, you know, but it's a dispute. I agree. But I don't agree that we should throw out the Arabs. And I don't think that they should throw out the Jews.

And if somebody said to you, the only way we're going to have peace with Israel is to have an ethnically cleansed Palestinian entity, you know, that's outrageous. If you said the only way... You shouldn't have Jews living in, I don't know, in the suburbs of London or New York and so on. I don't think that will play too well.
