Despite the forced removal of 10,000 residents, the construction of the Partition Wall and ongoing terror attacks, the number of Jews living in Yesha (Judea and Samaria) increased in 2005.
According to figures released by the Peace Now group and confirmed by the Central Bureau of Statistics, 12,000 new residents moved into Judea and Samaria, resulting in a net population growth following the expulsion of close to 10,000 people from communities in Gaza and northern Samaria. The number of Jews living in Judea and Samaria, not counting eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods, is 250,000.
The report also says that the natural growth of the Jewish population in Judea and Samaria continues at a far greater rate than that of those residing within the pre-1967 Green Line. Residents of Yesha have an average annual growth rate of 5.5 percent, whereas the rest of Israel has a 1.8 growth rate.
Additionally, despite the destruction of permanent structures in several outlying neighborhoods, 33 of the 120 long-standing communities Peace Now defines as "illegal outposts" have built permanent structures on their land, including synagogues, mikvaot (ritual baths) and community social halls.
The Peace Now report also laments the continued construction in Jewish towns located on the eastern side of the Partition Wall. Though the government has largely frozen funding to towns located outside the fence-route, private contractors and individuals have continued to build in places like Tekoa, Beit El, Itamar, Yitzhar, Hevron and Ofra.
The self-despising so-called Jews in Peace Now "lament" Jews living on Jewish land. But are they banned as an organization? No, they get Israeli government funding--a group devoted to the self-destruction of Israel.
Hitler loved groups like peace now, called them "useful idiots"; all these peace groups are but fools using taxpayers monies to advance their destructive socialist/communist agendas.
"Useful idiots" was a quote from Lenin to describe the Wests's liberal apologists that defended radical's crimes and attacked Capitalism.
"Residents of Yesha have an average annual growth rate of 5.5 percent, whereas the rest of Israel has a 1.8 growth rate. "
It would be curious to know the growth rate of "peace now" members.
after homosexuality, transgenderism, non marriage , double income no kids and especially yerida, I would expect the growth rate to be negative.
Anything below 2.1 is negative. It means it's shrinking. 2.1 children per woman is the replacement rate. Above 2.1 is growth, 2.1 is stable, below 2.1 is shrinking.

There is no "West Bank". That was a Soviet construct. There is only Arab occupied Judea and Samaria..
**The number of Jews living in Judea and Samaria, not counting eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods, is 250,000.**
Prayers for all Jews living in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem and all of Israel. Glad to hear their numbers are inscreasing.
The article originally was entitled "Yesha", but I thought that many FReepers would not understand.
No problem..
Ah, good point. Didn't think about that.
