As to those who curse and swear at their protectors: this minority of minority includes, for instance, many Hebronites. As I've said before, many enlisted men would rather go AWOL than spend more time protecting Hebron.

20 and 100 out of how many?

And by the way, though the extremist settlers constantly claim that they represent at least half of the people in Israel, I've never seen them give any evidence to this. In fact, from the polls that I've read in Ma'ariv, it seems that most of the people in Israel would not mind us retreating from some of the settlements as part of a peace accord. Just because it's now not likely that there will be any kind of accord any time soon, doesn't mean that the people have suddenly become fond of the extreme settlers, who, by the way, are to my opinion showing the results of spending time around fanatic Muslims, rather, it means that they conclude, just as I do, that leaving the settlements _now_ would be, as I have said before, a strategic faux pas, in our dealings with the Palestinians, and our neighbours in general.
