Haaretz got that number from iVoteIsrael in 2012 which determined that there were 160,000. Before 2012, nobody had gone on the record with a concrete number of Americans, and at the end of the campaign, just about everyone was tracked down, the # that came up was 160K, which was widely accepted in all Israeli media as well as intl. So Haaretz just estimated another 10K between 4 yrs of NBN olim, births, etc. <br /><br />The only problem is that the 160K is 18 years or older (Americans who can vote), the actual number of Americans (in 2012) is 250K.<br /><br />On top of that she claimed that there were 60K in YESHA which is not even close - 20K is a generous estimation."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-87106028127848362612015-09-07T13:27:41.436+03:002015-09-07T13:27:41.436+03:00I found this comment at the NYT:-
"Seth Isra...I found this comment at the NYT:-<br /><br />"Seth Israel<br />Dear Dr. Hirschhorn,<br />I recently attended your talk at Limud in Jerusalem. At that time you presented a fascinating and i would emphasize complex and nuanced view of the settler movement. This editorial is far from that. More importantly, you make the unsubstantiated observation that the actions of these Jewish terrorists have not been condemned. As you well know many Rabbis in Israel condemnedthe action as well as many Rabbis from abroad. The President, Prime Minister and other official condemned the action, and you were here to hear those condemnations and to hear of the commitment to riding the society of such people. I dare say tat since you were in Israel, you have very little information about what was written in US papers following the incident. <br /><br />This smacks of a publicity grab to sell your book.<br /><br />However, I hope you read carefully the firestorm of comments you unleashed. I have. If this does not make you cringe, your politics and your concern for Jewish welfare is suspect. You have people talking of apartheid of the State never being created, of Jewish attempts top exterminate another people. I wondeer how comfortable you are with the support you have corralled. <br /><br />Moreover, you stated that you would not let your politics enter into your objective study of the settler phenomenon. Given your current rant, my initial interest in your book has waned (I commented positively to you at the talk). You probably do not care because you decided to pull in others.YMedadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333122797414935958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-34760340129135071652015-09-07T09:16:06.176+03:002015-09-07T09:16:06.176+03:00Herb, in a word, no.Herb, in a word, no.YMedadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333122797414935958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-6117705149631674822015-09-07T00:13:54.148+03:002015-09-07T00:13:54.148+03:00It's time for a new Jewish tradition - EXCOMMU...It's time for a new Jewish tradition - EXCOMMUNICATION - of the way too many traitors in our midst.

Its because the enormity of the the danger doesn't exist. They make it up. If they know who to blame for the killing of the baby in Duma, then where are the culprits?<br />So dozens of Hill Top Youth, including my grandchild, were put under administrative detention for 6 months. He is restricted to Amona and cannot even go down the hill into Ofrah unless he uses the continuation of the road to enter the pre-1967 borders. How stupid can they get? To get to "Israeli" Jerusalem he must pass through half of Yehuda and Shomron, but he cannot stop on the way. They are doing this in order to show that they are hot on the tail of the murderer of the baby. They are doing this insanity because their enemy does not exist but they want to show they are doing "something". <br />These teenagers are too Jewish for them. These kids with long peyot, are in their perverse thinking a threat to their cultural dominance."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014209.post-53312573981519847322015-09-06T20:24:45.402+03:002015-09-06T20:24:45.402+03:00You have a way to reach Sara?
