Opinion by Gershom Gorenberg: A political crisis exposes the fictions of the West Bank settlement enterprise
to legitimize the occupation. Others absented themselves. Netanyahu’s loyalists — avid supporters of settlement — all voted against the measure.This could foreshadow the fall of Bennett’s government. It could also be a skirmish before the extension comes up for a new vote and passes.. It shines a light on two half-truths, each a form of political fraud. On one hand, the emergency order is formally a temporary improvisation.
Yet it turns out that the legal structure, as vital to settlement as the physical houses, is a fortress built of matchsticks. It can be knocked down with ease by a chance realignment in parliament. Advocates of a one-state solution who cite the supposed permanence of settlements in their argument should pay attention: The settlement enterprise is not as immovable as it looks.
And settlers themselves, looking at the headlines, should realize that they have fallen for a real estate scam. They are not, in fact, living in Israel.
