Yesha's Population Just Went Up

Well, according to the Pals., that is:-

144 Settlements in the West Bank are housing 476,000 Israel settlers

26 of those settlements are in the occupied city of Jerusalem, 16 of them already annexed to Jerusalem.

259,000 settlers live in settlements in and around the occupied city of Jerusalem, while 77,000 settlers live in settlements around the central West Bank city of Ramallah. In addition, 46,000 live in settlements around the southern West Bank city of Bethlehem, 29,000 located near Salfit City in the northern part of the West Bank, and 1,300 settlers live in settlements near the northern West Bank city of Tubas.

The report stated that those numbers do not include the random 165 settlements, home of 10,000 settlers, which the Israeli army considers to be illegal.



A 'settler' I will be,
I feel so good and free,
Hi-ho, the merry-o,
I've got 'settler' pedigree.

Now, does that include the people from the NbN flight yesterday? Because I have friends who moved to Gush Etzion, so that would make it 476,006, at least.
