If the gov't authorizes a new location with the same amount of land and housing units in an area that was up until now off-limits to Jewish settlement, I would accept the agreement. ( I should point out I totally oppose an evacuation of Talia Sasson's supposedly 'illegal' outposts and passive resistance is justified in opposing it). Compromises worked out in the past have benefitted the YESHA project, so I would not automatically reject this offer until we see concretely what the gov't is offering.
I think I would also. Since the buildings are mostly temporary and they are moving not too far away and considering the ramifications of a pro-settlement gov't decision and if they move only after new buildings are in place, that would be a great benefit to the entire settlement enterprise.
American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.
