| Title: | Australian journalist and documentary filmmaker | |||||||||
| Position: | Con Israeli settlements to the question "What are the solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?" | |||||||||
| Reasoning: |
"The 'settlers' are mostly religious Israelis or immigrants from Russia, America and elsewhere, who are subsidised by the government to live in what are colonial fortresses in the midst of Palestinian communities, guarded by the Israeli army. They have no right to be there under international law, and the United Nations says they should get out... These illegal, provocative enclaves, and their surrounding security areas, control almost 42 per cent of occupied Palestine - a fact that, on its own, makes mockery of the popular myth that two years ago the Israelis made a 'generous' offer to return 90 per cent of the occupied territories, which the Palestinian Authority rejected."
