In this reaction, I examine Glick’s argument that the settlement debate is not merely about demographics or diplomacy—it is also about Jewish civil rights, property rights, security, and whether Jews should be prohibited from living in parts of their historic homeland.
The 2013 Intelligence Squared UK debate featured Caroline Glick and Dani Dayan opposing Daniel Levy and William Sieghart on the motion that Israel was destroying itself through its settlement policy in the West Bank.
Glick challenges the idea that a future Palestinian state must first remove every Jewish resident. She argues that demanding a Jew-free Palestinian state amounts to supporting ethnic exclusion while claiming to defend human rights.
The debate also covers:
Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria
Jewish and Palestinian civil rights
Demographic arguments surrounding a one-state solution
Israeli citizenship for Palestinians
The viability of the two-state solution
Mahmoud Abbas and rejected peace proposals
Haj Amin al-Husseini and Palestinian nationalism
Comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany
Israel’s security and Jewish national sovereignty
Whether settlements are truly the central obstacle to peace
I also explain where I agree with Caroline Glick’s one-state argument—and where I disagree with extending automatic Israeli citizenship in a way that could threaten Israel’s Jewish majority.
The transcript ultimately presents Glick’s proposal that Palestinians be allowed to apply for Israeli citizenship, while the broader reaction argues that two states will not create lasting peace and that Israel must maintain its sovereignty and security.
Do Israeli settlements prevent peace—or has the conflict always been about something much deeper than borders?
