Re: It's for real in Isreal-rael (none / 0)

If the economically-motivated are a 60% majority in the West Bank, that would be indeed a sign for optimism.

You would hope Peretz would have internal Labour polls or other information about how many of the settlements have over 40% of radicals. Unless you think he'd made this proposal to have it fail on purpose.

Hm, no I was more thinking along the "naive self-delusion" line, so you have an interesting argument that reduced my scepticism. On the other hand, I wonder if internal polls for such small populations as a single settlement are possible.

Other information as in: past election results, who the mayor is, asking local Labour members what's up...

All good points, tough this may be too rough information. (How do the settlements vote, anyone knows?) But I guess we'll know more if we see the Haaretz figures.

Another, more sceptical possibility: that Peretz may be content with emptying much less than the overwhelming majority of settlements.
