Summary
The success of the Israeli settler movement is often simply assumed, or proclaimed, rather than explained or proven. Most accounts both exaggerate the triumphs of the movement and simply ignore the defeats. Few offer such a subtle assessment as Ran Cohen, which goes beyond mere numbers of settlements and settlers and also includes cultural elements. Still, while we agree with much of his statement, our comprehensive and systematic assessment warrants a more complex and qualified conclusion.
