Rachel Braslavi and Judith Segaloff live in the Israeli settlement of Karnei Shomron in the occupied West Bank .

The settlement is carved into Palestinian land, surrounded by a security fence.

The U.N. says 700,000 Israelis live in these communities, which the United Nations calls illegal.

About 15% of settlers are Americans .

Sari Sari: Settlers make a security argument, that Israel is safer with the settlements.

Sari talks with Assaf Sharon , a professor of political and legal philosophy at Tel Aviv University .

He says settlements are not a security asset; they are a security burden, because defending scores of civilians, deep in densely populated Palestinian territory, is one hell of a burden for the military.
