Gush Etzion

I wish well-meaning folks such as yourself would stop saying things like "Israel will retain three residential blocs (Gush Etzion, Maale Adumim, and Ariel) ."

If you must, say "part of Gush Etzion."

Some of the Gush Etzion communities are slated to go. The rest - like much of Judea and Samaria - will have to live with the shooting at the roads, across the fence, etc.
