	FAIR MEDIA ADVISORY: Euphemisms for Israeli Settlements Confuse Coverage
		What does seem clear is that settlements-- housing built on land illegally seized by Israel after the 1967 war-- are such a contentious issue within Israel that the Israeli government would like to stop reporters from even saying the word.
		According to the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem, the settler population in the West Bank (excluding East Jerusalem) increased almost 100 percent between 1993 and 2000, and there are now 380,000 Israelis living in West Bank settlements (including East Jerusalem).
		The sympathy shown throughout the article for the Israeli victims and their loved ones is perfectly appropriate.

	"Untenable Linkages: Tying a Cessation of Palestinian Violence to an Israeli Settlement Freeze," by Dore Gold
		In contrast, settlement activity is specifically defined as an issue with which the parties are to deal in permanent status negotiations; in the interim, the Oslo Agreements do not prohibit the growth of settlements which remain under Israeli jurisdiction any more than they prohibit the growth of Palestinian towns and villages under PLO jurisdiction.
		According to an internal memorandum dated March 18, 1996, by Yoel Singer, the Israeli legal advisor to the Oslo talks, which was made public some months later: "In the course of the negotiations on the DOP, the representatives of the PLO tried to obtain a clause prohibiting Israel from establishing new settlements.
		The formula of an Israeli settlement freeze in exchange for a termination of Palestinian violence essentially entails requiring that Israel undertake an obligation beyond the Oslo Agreements, in exchange for the fulfillment of central Palestinian responsibilities within the Oslo process.

		The settlements The main controversy is around the great majority of the settlements, which stand on land that was not in Jewish hands prior to the Six-Day War.
		These settlements have been declared to be illegal by the UN Security Council (Resolution 446), and Israel has been asked by that resolution to cease further settlement activity.
		Most Israeli and US proposals for final settlement have also involved Israel being allowed to retain settlements near Israel proper and in East Jerusalem (the majority of the settler population is near the Green Line), with Israel annexing the land on which the settlements are located.

	Middle East Report Online: False Resolution Looms in EU-Israeli Settlement Trade Dispute, by Peter Lagerquist
		In late December 2003, Israeli Trade and Industry Minister Ehud Olmert floated a compromise in his government's simmering dispute with the EU over Israeli settlement exports to the Union.
		However, since the Israeli customs authority would not, under Olmert's agreement, be required to adhere to the EU's interpretation of the agreement's territorial scope, it could meanwhile work with settlement industries to contain any damage to their interests.
		Accelerating Israeli settlement construction in the Oslo years, and now the tank invasions and extrajudicial executions of the Sharon government, have led to increasingly pointed questioning in the European Parliament.

		Israeli sources confirmed that the project is being implemented by the Israeli ministry of interior, the Jerusalem municipality and businessmen under the security protection of dozens of Israeli soldiers and security personnel.
		The landowners expressed deep resentment over the Israeli stereotyped and discriminatory measures against them reiterating the fact that the Jewish municipality of Jerusalem didn't allow them to build on their land and, on the other, gave Jews permission to build on a land they even didn't own.
		The Israeli persistence to continue illegal work has led to fierce confrontations between unarmed Palestinian land owners and their supporters, on one hand, and the heavily armed Israeli police and security men, one the other hand.
