Text Box: Click to SIGN Keep Israel Strong!8 Text Box: Judea and Samaria are strategic The territory that the Government of Israel is about to give to Al Fatah -- cleansed of its Jews as was done already in the Gaza Strip -- is called Judea and Samaria (a.k.a. 'West Bank'). This is high ground. Most of the Israeli Jews live in lowlands between Judea and Samaria and the sea. These lowlands are almost impossible to defend because they constitute a very thin strip of land. Between the West Bank hills and the sea, at the narrowest point, there are no more than 9 miles. And in the Tel-Aviv-Yafo area, where half of all Israeli Jews live are densely concentrated, there are 11 miles between the West Bank Hills and the sea, a distance a that a fit person can easily jog, and back. To give Judea and Samaria to the PLO is to turn Israel into a death trap (or should we say death camp?). The US Government, which has pushed hard for Israel to give these lands to the PLO, in fact agrees. A 1967 US Pentagon study concluded that Judea and Samaria (and Gaza, and the Golan) were strategic territory that, if relinquished, would lead to the destruction of the Jewish State. This Pentagon study was not done for the benefit of Israel, but was kept secret. It was apparently declassified in 1979 but not published until 1984.
