WikiLeaks: Some Jewish Settlers Ready To Move For Money

JERUSALEM — Newly revealed WikiLeaks documents quote a Jewish settler leader as saying some residents of West Bank settlements would be willing to relocate in exchange for compensation, Israel's Haaretz newspaper reported Friday.
Publicly, Dani Dayan, leader of the Yesha settler council, has made forceful declarations that settlers will not leave their homes under any circumstances.
Palestinians seek the West Bank for part of a future state and want the 300,000 Jewish settlers there to leave as part of a peace deal with Israel.
Haaretz published the WikiLeaks finding from among 250,000 leaked U.S. State Department memos provided by the secret-spilling website. It said some 10,000 related to Israel.
In one of the documents, written by U.S. diplomats in Israel, Dayan is quoted as saying that some settlers will move in return for proper compensation.
"I'm an economist, and I know that some people will take it if the price is right," he is quoted as saying.
The report also said that Dayan expressed embarrassment over settler violence and that he "understood" the Palestinian connection to West Bank lands.
Dayan played down the WikiLeaks comments attributed to him, saying they were taken out of context. He added that he thought very few settlers would agree to leave but that "the larger the bribe, the more settlers would agree to evacuate."
Israel expects the major settlement blocs, where most of the West Bank settlers live, to remain in Israeli hands under any final peace accord.
Many settlers have privately said they would relocate for a proper price under a final peace deal with the Palestinians.
However, Dayan's WikiLeaks comments sparked outrage among hard-line settlers, some of whom called on him to resign in response.
Israel has largely been spared by the troves of WikiLeaks documents that have embarrassed many Western governments.
Other highlights of "The Israel File" include an Israeli assessment that another war against Lebanese Hezbollah militants would last two months and that thousands of Hezbollah rockets would target the Tel Aviv area.

i think you know what i mean. anywhere within reason. but if the price is right somone may move there.
who is suggesting settlers move to antarctica?
certainly not me.
and i have never once seen such nonsense even suggested on this forum.
:?
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Am I missing something? It seems like more attention than is due.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
what about US politics?
what about the cutting of funding for programs?
are there too many threads devoted to US politics on there?
i don't think that 3 of the 30 threads currently on the front page dealing with such an intricate topic is too many. and of those 3 threads only 2 deal directly with the israel/palestine conflict. the other is the holocaust thread that has been being discussed for at least 2 weeks. there are so many nuances that you can not discuss it all in a single thread.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
just because one is critical of israeli government policies towards the palestinians does not make that person antisemitic, just like those that favor those policies are not blanket antimuslim or anti palentinian. last i saw there were plenty of people on here who defend and encourage the illegal settlements, defended the flotilla attack from last year, advocate and praise the use of military force on civillians under the guise of attacking hamas, and in a few cases "making the west bank a parking lot". but you have not been around here long enough to have seen any of that have you?
