I didn’t get the impression op was implying forcibly removing the settlers, which seems to be the conclude you’ve made. I agree that’s the conclusion, but one can’t just assume that settlers will voluntarily give back the stolen property because they live in a secular equal state
Depends on what we mean by "forcibly removing".
Are we talking about Palestinian militia walking shoulder to shoulder herding all the settlers out of everywhere? Or just random acts of tension and violence that would make a settler feel unsafe where they are and to move away?
No disagreements with you there. Would be a WHOLE lot of court cases trying to track down who lived where and when and who is related to an original owner of a patch of land during the first nakba tons of lawyering to try to figure out what kind of restitution the hurt party would agree to or demand.
Ideally, per above, the lack of protection would convince the majority to leave. I think we’re very much in agreement as to how the situation ought to be resolved, I was just curious about what I saw as waving away the question by turning the settlers into non settlers
Fair.
I guess my brain is separating the issue with Settlers into to processes(?). One where there is an active political/military project behind the Settlers and another where there are just people who immigrated into an area they personally have little social connections to the area but don't have any special political/military protections. Though it probably doesn't matter in a real world situation so much.
