I gather you're FReeping from Israel and are an Israeli citizen.
You'll find that many of the really hard core pro-settlement posters are in the US. Some of our bona fide Israeli posters who are more moderate occasionally bring this up.

It's easier to be pro-settlement from the U.S. rather than on the front lines. We need to remember the ex-patriots don't necessarily speak for the actual Israeli residents. It's a bit like the pejorative "chickenhawk" regarding those who are always eager to go to war yet unwilling to serve. That seems to classify an awful lot of neocon members of the political class.

I support Taiwan against China perhaps more than some left-leaning Taiwanese as well. I suppose you think they are "moderate" as well.
