Unlike settlers who believe they are continuing the historic Zionist mission of reclaiming the Jewish homeland, most ultra-Orthodox do not consider themselves settlers or Zionists and express no commitment to being in the West Bank, so their growth in these settlement towns, situated just inside the pre-1967 boundary, could be redirected westward to within Israel.

Unless the pre-1967 reference is a typo, this means that the Times is already considering how to get people to leave the original land that was “settled” by Israel in 1948. They seem to think that “ultra-Orthodox” are as hypocritical as the Times writers and can be scared out of their legitimate homes.
