Just because they identify as settlers doesn't make them settlers
Agreed. And by
@PlatinumGuy 's logic, the chassidic residents of Modiin Ilit and Beitar Ilit, should not be called "settlers" since they are anti-nationalist and dont serve in the army. Just try to find any media outlet which would agree with that.
The funniest point in the article is a direct quote that "The main strategy was to establish settlements in the mixed cities." Do you think they are dumping shipping container trailers into Lod and living there?
A "settlement" is a defined term, although I personally find its definition and connotation distasteful. But to apply
@PlatinumGuy 's logic, if people want to set up anti-nationalist yeshuvim in the West Bank, they would not be settlements :-)
