A Bitter Irony by Eugene Kontorovich
New York Sun, February 13, 2008
"[W]hatever one may think of the legal status of Jewish communities in the West Bank in general, the "unauthorized" settlements raise no issues under international law."
Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, January 2008
 
Commentary Magazine, December 2007
 
The Jerusalem Post, September 4, 2007 
"It is a mistake for countries supporting a two-state solution to continue seeing anything concerning settlements as waving a red flag. [....] The two-state concept is an exercise in partition in which the principle is more important than where the line is drawn. [....] The obstacle to peace is not those who advocate Greater Israel, who have lost the debate here, but terrorism in the name of Greater Palestine, meaning the destruction of Israel."
