Ethan Bronner on Settlements

The NYT reporting on Israel-Palestine has always been terrible. As a prime example, check out this article on settlements by Ethan Bronner, who is supposedly an unbiased reporter despite the fact that his son is currently serving in the Israeli army:

"...if negotiations ever get back on track, there will be thousands more Israeli settlers who will have to relocate into Israel, posing new problems over how to accommodate them while creating a Palestinian state on the land where many of them are living now."

So Bronner is not concerned about the effect settlers/settlements could have on the Palestinians and the possibility of a contiguous state; he is solely concerned for the settlers who may be forced to move back off Palestinian land if a state is formed.
