There was an arguement that there are no new settlements, just natural expansion of teh existing ones. The problem with this is that if you are negotiating for borders and such, you don't go and keep pushing your marker farther into the other guy's territory and not expect there to be a fight about it.

If you are going to claim all the lands, so it, don't try to take it meter by meter via construction projects. (I still consider that Israel should have just taken it all reguardless of what the UN said in 1967, as that was the traditional way of things/ Spoils go to the victor.). Because the world won't allow the "defender" to claim territories it won in a war, the Palestinian are kind of noplace and Israel has settlements in mind. Meaning that the only solution left if a two state solution, or another war where Israel takes the lands and keeps them (the UN still won't allow it).

The worse response from Israel on the settlements though would be "we need breathing room".
