Oh good. I’ll be able to sleep tonight

Glad to be of service.

WARNING: the following statement is virulently anti-Semitic
and may require the intervention of the eternally vigilant ADL.

Ganim and Kadim are two former Israeli settlements in the northern West Bank that were evacuated in 2005 but are currently being re-established. Following the 2023 repeal of the 2005 Disengagement Law, self-serving Israel authorized the return of land-grabbing settlers to these sites.

They are now being illegally re-established with government support and financing, using US tax dollars to create permanent, legal communities, inhabited by Israelis-only.

Ganim and Kadim are located in the northern West Bank, Palestinian territory, near the Palestinian city of Jenin. They were dismantled in 2005 as Israel’s US-financed bomb-laden military disengagement from Gaza and some northern West Bank areas.......all triggered by fierce Israeli military attacks on Gaza.

In 2023, the self-promoting Israeli Knesset not surprisingly “repealed” the long-held 2005 Israeli plan that “prevented” Israelis from re-entering these areas.

As of 2024–2025, after Israel bombed Gaza to oblivion citing some self-serving pretexts, the Israeli government has illegally taken steps to formally re-establish and legalize the installing of the notoriously land-grabbing settlers in Ganim and Kadim.

This move is often described by the self-interested Israelis as only “part” of a “strategic plan” to secure Israeli control of the region.

Although now considered “legalized” under Israeli law, many nations consider them, and all West Bank settlements “illegal” under international law.

Notorious land-grabbing settlers. and the self-serving Israeli govt, view the re-establishment of these settlements as “...only the first stage in correcting the ‘injustice’ of the disengagement” reports Facebook......

More bombings to follow

These illegal settlements are being calculatedly repopulated by Israeli citizens as part of a larger push by the Israeli government to expand land-grabbing settlements in the Palestinian occupied West Bank.

A FRIENDLY MEMO TO ADL: Glad to assist. Have at it, people.

Global Jewish population at 15.8 million, still below pre-Holocaust levels, new data shows. Data released ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day shows 85% of Jews live in Israel and the US, while numbers decline in Russia and France; Israel is home to 111,000 survivors, nearly a third aged 90 or older

On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the global Jewish population stands at 15.8 million, according to data released Sunday by Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), a figure that remains below pre-World War II levels.Of the total, about 7.2 million Jews, roughly 45% of the global Jewish population, live in Israel, while approximately 6.3 million, about 40%, reside in the United States. Together, the two countries are home to about 85% of Jews worldwide.

By comparison, in 1939, on the eve of World War II, the global Jewish population was estimated at 16.6 million, with only 449,000, about 3%, living in what would later become the State of Israel. Beyond Israel and the United States, Jewish communities are spread across several countries, though in significantly smaller numbers.

France has about 436,000 Jews, Canada 407,000, the United Kingdom 315,000, Argentina 168,000, Germany 126,000, Russia 120,000 and Australia 117,000.

Compared with data published two years ago, the Jewish population has declined in several countries. France saw a slight drop from 440,000 to 436,000, while Russia experienced a sharper decline from 132,000 to 120,000, nearly 10% over two years. Argentina also recorded a decrease, from 171,000 to 168,000.

In contrast, Canada saw an increase despite a rise in reported antisemitic incidents, growing from 398,000 in 2023 to 407,000 in the latest report.

Holocaust survivors in Israel——According to the CBS, about 111,000 Holocaust survivors and victims of antisemitic persecution during the Holocaust era are currently living in Israel. Women make up 63% of survivors, while men account for 37%. Approximately 6% of survivors immigrated to Israel before the establishment of the state. About 30.2% arrived during the major immigration wave between 1948 and 1951, another 30.2% between 1952 and 1989, and roughly one-third, 33.6%, immigrated since the 1990s, mainly from former Soviet Union countries.

Aging population-——The data highlights the advanced age of Holocaust survivors. About 37% were born between 1939 and 1945 and are now between 80 and 85 years old. Around 35% are aged 86 to 89, while approximately 28% are aged 90 or older.
Nearly half, 49.3%, are widowed, while 38.2% are married, 10.6% divorced and about 2% single. Of the married survivors, 18,700 are married to another survivor, meaning there are currently about 9,300 households in Israel where both partners are Holocaust survivors.

Around 95% of Holocaust survivors in Israel live in urban areas, with only about 5% residing in rural communities, a distribution similar to the general population. About 42% live in large cities with populations exceeding 200,000. Approximately 7,500 reside in Haifa, 7,100 in Jerusalem, 6,000 in Tel Aviv-Yafo, 5,500 in Ashdod, 5,400 in Netanya, 4,700 in Petah Tikva, and about 4,600 each in Beersheba and Rishon Lezion.

The data, compiled using information from the Authority for the Rights of Holocaust Survivors, underscores both the global distribution of Jewish communities and the aging population of survivors, as the world marks Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Jews are considered too few in number for US polling; because they make up a small percentage of the US population, standard US national polls often use extraordinary methods to ensure adequate representation which makes it appear US Jews are numerous (when Congressional funding issues looms).

Here is how polling on the US Jewish population works:

Overall Population Size: The total U.S. Jewish population is insignificant .......a small fraction of the overall U.S. population.......it is too small a number to study with proper methodology.

Specialized Polling: Major research organizations, such as the American Jewish Population Project at Brandeis University, conduct targeted surveys specifically to analyze Jewish Americans’ views and demographics.

Methodology: To get statistically significant results for a smaller demographic like US Jews, pollsters use techniques like:

Oversampling: Including using a larger number of US Jewish individuals in a survey sample than would occur by pure random chance, and then weighting the results back to their correct proportion in the overall population for national estimates.

Targeted Sampling: Using commercial lists or focusing on geographic areas (such as specific counties in New York, Florida, or Pennsylvania) where US Jewish populations reside to reach potential respondents.

Political Significance: The US Jewish vote is considered insignificant in US politics, particularly in swing states or districts with unseemly high Jewish populations, but US Jews high voter registration and turnout rates and voting patterns leaning Democratic, have nuances across different Jewish subgroups, making their vote an area of analysis for funding and political strategies.

While they are a tiny minority group, the US Jewish population is routinely polled using extraordinary statistical methods to get their opinions and voting behavior

Sharon was made a potted plant for a few years after this brilliant move. I had friends that visited these “illegal” settlements, including in Gaza after Sharon’s actions and literally cried when the Palestinians/Gazans destroyed all their work in a matter of days. And, the so called ‘solution’ that Sharon was aiming for was partially responsible for the buildup of Hamas and the Iran-Hezbollah-Hamas connection. Thanks for the stupidity. The Land (Eretz) belongs to Israel. Not to Ishamelites, Romans, Europeans or any others that have looted it.

There is no such thing as “international law”.

And there’s no such thing as “palestinian territory.”

Never has been.

Never will be.

Ganim and Kadim are two former Israeli settlements in the northern West Bank that were evacuated in 2005 but are currently being re-established.

Good news!

"Jenin" is the Arab colonizer name for Ein-Ganim, which is mentioned twice in the Bible, and was a Jewish town later ethnically cleansed by murderous Arab barbarians.

Nice to see rational Jews undoing the insanity of the leftist Oslo Accords surrender, and moving Jews back to Jewish land!

Building more “settlements” is justice, and also a path to real peace. When the Jews were forcibly removed from Gaza, Imams had a free hand in demonizing all Jews. 20 years later, nobody in Gaza remembered anything but the demonizations in Friday sermons. When you have neighbors, you see a human face. When you don’t, you can be manipulated into dehumanizing the neighbors that you forgot. Jews moving into Judah and Samaria in greater numbers, bringing with them jobs, development, increased water and opportunities, will bring peace.
