settlement

Intensive interest on the part of my Gentile coworker - albeit balanced with equal parts utter incomprehension. In trying to explain Gush Katif, "withdrawl", "settlement" to him, I understand where the confusion and interest stem from; they are fruit from an inverted tree, drawing nutrients from Above. i am equal parts confused and interested as he. Something like "Anthros" (anthropologists), assessing a present-day societal context, while that context is trying to grasp the "anthros".
