Most Israelis don’t see Jordan Valley as occupied

Dimi Reider at +972mag, yet another report on the meaninglessness of the old Green Line in Israeli consciousness:

A poll conducted by our esteemed Dahlia Scheindlin (for ACRI’s Action a Day campaign) indicates a sweeping majority of Israelis – 63.5%, to be exact – think the Jordan valley is part of Israel; in other words, not part of the West Bank; or, in plain words, don’t understand why or how Israeli presence there is being called into question.

The special status of the valley in the Israeli collective consciousness is nothing new.
