To give up the 5,000-square-kilometre West Bank - roughly 50 kilometres wide and 100 kilometres in length - would be to put Israel in a totally indefensible position by giving up military advantages in four critical areas.
Yitzhar is probably the most hated, headlined and demonized settlement in Samaria.
Only passionately convinced people would visit this Jewish town.
But anyone visiting it would also understand what would happen to Tel Aviv and Herzliya if, instead of Jews, the PLO-Hamas regime would be controlling Yitzhar.
From Yitzhar, located high up in the hills near Nablus, the Biblical city of Shechem, you can clearly see the entire Israeli coast. Thats why the site was chosen by the IDF to set up a Nahal community in 1983.

At night, from their towns, you can see the lights from coastal cities of Ashkelon in the south and Hadera in the north.

From what I have read on Wiki they sound like a group of really cool, hardcore Yids!!!

The settlement is at the forefront of the settler movement’s so called “price tag” policy which calls for attacks against Palestinians in retaliation for actions of the Israeli government against West Bank settlements.[6]”
or more commonly in retaliation for attacks against Jews by Arabs. Of course, they’d leave that out.
Rather “convenient”, eh?
