My family live in the "west bank". We live in the Benjamin region on a not so small yishuv -"settlement". Funny, this place has been in existence for thirty years. But a Yishuv it is.
Strategically, we are able to see Ben Gurion airport, Tel Aviv, Petach Tikva, Shoham.
We live in the most beautiful surroundings, the hills of Shomron are surrounding our mountain. We have a forest, and beautiful vegetation surrounds us.
Our son attends the elementary school here, walks to and from by himself. We shop at the market, attend the library, the synagogue and have been making friends.
What's the point?
The inmates running the asylum are willing to give this area away to the terrorists who will undoubtedly be shooting kassams at Israel. The EU, who can't control their own population, are offered the opportunity to gain control of this area. nuts. absolutely nuts.
My house is lovely, we have what we need here. Space, a garden, friends to fill our Shabbat table.
We have to travel twenty minutes to get to any main city center- which is no bother at all. It's 35 minutes to Jerusalem and 45 minutes to Tel Aviv. What's the rush? I love our idyllic life. We are happy here.
Now talk has turned to evil. To give this place away is a crime. If they have no place for those from Gush Katif? Where are we 200,000 Yesha residents supposed to go?

Shoshana,
You make the Shomron sound so beautiful !! Yesha must NOT be lost !! The remainder of Yesha must NOT become another Gush Katif !!
PRAY, SPEAK THE TRUTH, SCREAM IT TO THE MOUNTAINTOPS, this is G-D'S Land, and it's NOT for sale, for "peace" or, any other price !!
HaShem's blessings on ALL Israel !!
Amen! Elaine, you have got to see this place- it's Blooming! I have never lived in such beauty before. The wild poppies are red, there are white and yellow daffodils and crocus. The pine trees and willows, the fruit trees are blooming with the fragrant blossoms. When you come to Israel, don't miss this gorgeous place. The communities we live in and around are as beautiful as the spring. I am so incredibly lucky.
Shoshana,
It sounds just as I envision it !! I often look at pictures of the wildflowers blooming in the Shomron and I cry !! In the Holy Scriptures we are told that when the people have returned to the Land that it would blossom, and it has !!! It just shows that EVERY WORD will be fulfilled !! I love to read the Nevi'im, it gives me hope for the future !! I would love it if you could post a few pictures of your beloved Shomron sometime !! To me it's the most BEAUTIFUL place on earth !!
In truth and faith,
Elaine
