What you are calling illegal settlements are the locations of peoples homes and have been for a decade or more. They are largely residential communities and these communities were hailed as a buffer for Israel after the Infata.
We need to examine the logical inconsistency of opposing the eminent domain action in Connetticut and applauding it in Palestine. Note the Israeli government is offering $ 300,000. per home to relocate and still the people are resisting giving up their homes and communities.
It is time to examine what constitutes the "public good" or "public use" as a concept. If you agree with the Israeli forced relocation of the settlements, then you must agree with the Supreme Court majority position in Kelo v. City of New London.
