The settlers do not have a problem with the leftists but, rather, with Israelis who like settlers: Israelis who are unconcerned by the fact that national-religious youngsters are overtaking our elite units. Such Israelis actually appreciate the settlers for that.
定居者与左派没有问题，而是与喜欢定居者的以色列人有问题：以色列人不关心民族宗教青年正在超越我们的精英部队。这样的以色列人真的很欣赏定居者。
