How Many of Us Does It Take?
The equation for political escape velocity, and the number at which the Jews of Judea and Samaria break out of a captive orbit
After Yamit, after Gaza, after 2020, the anger was real. It went into new parties, into councils that live on the government’s budget, and into protests the government waited out. The withholding that did happen was private, so no party counted it as lost. Nothing was in writing. And nobody counted, so each man waited to see whether anyone else would move, and nobody moved first.
Part 2 of Escape Velocity sets out the equation for breaking the orbit and the number it takes: 40,000 signatures, public, named and dated, from voters who give their vote only to a list that commits in writing, before the election, to apply Israeli law in Judea and Samaria.
