7. Israeli Settlement Building - Do You Agree With Israel's Decision to Resume Settlement Building in the E1 Zone? Why?

I believe that both Israeli and Arab populations should coexist peacefully in Jerusalem, and that any attempt from either side to inhibit the others existence is not a wise decision. The expansions of Israeli settlements in the E1 zone geographically restrain any sort of Arab expansion in Jerusalem, and thus give the Arab population a motive for further conflict. Although this decision may aid Israel in achieving their goals, for the time being it simply creates further conflict (which the Israelis claim they long to finish). Thus in terms of resolving the Arab Israeli conflict, this is a step in the wrong direction, which is precisely why I disagree with this decision.
