Talk:Gush Etzion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't think it's really a stub anymore. It's somewhat detailed. The logo was weird, so I removed it. A map might be a good addition. -- Slowking Man
[edit] what's included?
it's not accurate to include karmay tzur, har giloh, and bietar. maybe neve daniel. the original core region would include k etion, a shvut and rosh tzurim. bat ayin could be included due to its proximity to kfar etion. similaraly elazar, ephrat and migdal oz. n daniel is "sretching it". anything else should be mentioned under the " Gush Etzion Regional Council".

[edit] Article is a POV disgrace
I know these settlements were/had been legal settlements, but the only two legal ways forward for them was to live under Arab sovereignty (/at peace with their neighbours) or evacuate. They chose to stand and fight - to oppose the sovereignty that Zionists (over and over) insist they'd accepted. It's nonsense to treat the settlements as anything other than heavily armed and most unwanted intruders.
And the article even fails to admit (attempts to conceal) what other Zionist supporting material boast of, this was an armed camp eg Kfar Etzion Remembered: A history of Gush Etzion and the Massacre of Kfar Etzion - 'The total fighting force in Gush Etzion consisted, by the spring of 1948, of 535 men and women, including 215 men and 100 women of the kibbutzim and 220 fighters sent by the Haganah'.
