A Jewish Israeli living in a settlement – a Jewish community in the Occupied Palestinian Territories of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and, before the 2005 “disengagement”, the Gaza Strip (see Gaza Disengagement). The settlements, established following Israel’s capture of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip in the War of 1967, are widely recognized as illegal under international law. In 2009, approximately 500,000 Jewish Israelis resided in over 130 settlements the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Jewish Israelis also reside in settlement outposts, which were established without going through the proper Israeli authorities. See Outpost, Settlement, Settlement Bloc and Settlement Subsidies.  http://www.justvision.org/glossary/settler
