Today the West Bank has 72 Jewish settlements, with a population of 24,000. Fourteen more communities are under construction. These outposts are inhabited mainly by middleclass, well-educated Israelis, who believe that the Bible gives them a timeless right to the land and who insist they will not move, come what...
