Since the Six-Day War, Israel has established 90 settlements in the occupied territories, including nine communities on the outskirts of Jerusalem, 36 on the West Bank (see map), 25 on the Golan Heights and 20 in Sinai and the Gaza...

Dayan feels pretty much the same way. Only last year, he told TIME Correspondent Marlin Levin: "We should implement Jewish settlement everywhere in the Jordan Valley without restriction, but without driving away the Arabs or imposing ourselves on them." Dayan, however, is a good deal more...
