Settlers

Monday August 15, 2005 - 11:33AM EDT

Something that always puzzled me was calling Israelis who moved into occupied areas of Gaza and the West Bank "settlers". The reason it puzzled me was because when I think of settlers I think of unexplored land unihabited by humans being settled by humans. But as far as I know, all the land on earth has been discovered and just about all the land has been divided up through ownership. So when they say Israeli settlers, I get confused. It is just another characteristic of a already confusing situation.

Anyway, I need to do some work.
