Rotem Stern, Settler in the West Bank 
"There are people who believe this land does not belong to us. But it's the land or my forefathers, it's always been. And it's not the case that I want to live here so the Arabs can't have it. That's not what it is about. My Arab neighbors are OK. But I regard it as our property."
