live. As in about 30 years ago.
6 of 9 because I'm scoring myself for the date of the earliest modern settlement being 1968. The 1946 date is less accurate than the 1968, because the 1946 settlement was given up for over seven years, not being resettled until 1970.
i got 5/9.
I hope they stop employing Arabs after the withdrawel. Employment has not built bridges, but rather sustains the arab growth rate. let the Israelis bring in more Phillipinos and siamese and romanians and let the arabs rot.
3/9! The three I got I knew factually; the ones I missed were poor "educated guesses".
Isreal is making a bad move. It will look like land can be taken if they stress the jews enough, and as we've seen before throughout history, over and over, the groups that appear weak are targeted by predators. They should not budge on the settlements. I don't see terrorist actions stopping with Gaza changing hands, so why do it?
7 of 9. Not only is it way more expensive than I thought, but a good number of Palis are about to lose their jobs. Almost seems like they're shooting themselves in the foot on this one.
