<< Settlers: settler population increases by nearly 6 percent in 2002 >>

===> From the article: "The Settlers Council said that 226,028 Jews were living in the West Bank at the end of 2002, compared to 213,672 a year earlier.

The increase over the past two years is 11.3 percent, the settlers said, in spite of the violence." <===

That is amazing! What courage! In the face of constant terrorism, Jews are still immigrating into the settlements.

I am interested in why people would leave everything behind, in their native countries, to move to one of the most violent areas on Earth.
