Statistics

Report: Settlers use just 9% of state-allocated West Bank land

West Bank settlements have been allocated huge amounts of land, but use very little of it, according to a Peace Now report.

Only nine percent of the area under settlement jurisdiction has been built on, and only 12 percent is being used at all, the report said, citing Civil Administration figures.


I've got a hunch: how much land is being used by Jews throughout little, pre-67 Israel? With all the Negev free, I am sure the percentage is below 50%.

If so, what does that prove?
