This issue defeats and turns the ethnic cleansing/settlement debate around to the PA instead of israel always being accused of it. I cant see people who are on the left and are mostly critical of the settlements argue against some jews living under PA sovereignty.

I agree with Bennett that security would be an issue and would need to be resolved but why debate that issue now when PA says they don't want a single "settler" living in Palestine anyways.
