    For me settling is primarily about stealing land. I’m not so concerned about the “legal status” of that theft under the thieves’ regime.

      My point was that settlers are technically not considered Israeli.

        They’re definitely Israelis. Are they agents of the government? Well this is a little subtler than you might think. No they are not on government payroll. Yes they hang on their government’s week to week, mile by mile policy posture toward settlement and constantly take as much as they can get away with without alienating that government. It’s such a tight relationship that yes, you should effectively hold the government responsible for their behavior.

          It seems I am wrong. I thought certain settler groups weren’t Israeli citizens to begin with.
