Here is an Agence France Presse article about groups in the
settler movement trying to increase tourism to the settlements. The
logic is, visitors will form such a strong attachement to
these settlers and their settlements that they will challenge any
potential Israeli government freeze or removal of settlements.
For the larger settlements, there are feel-good festivals. For
the outposts, there are trips in armored buses to show people the
heroism of the settlers and the dangers they face every day. I wonder what people like Max Blumenthal, Joseph Dana, David
Shulman, and others that have seen the darker side of the
settlers think about this?
Heck, who needs negotiations and international law when you can have clowns and plump cherries!
