\"The way the residents of Yesha are acting reminds me of the bravery and forbearance shown by the people of London during the German air raids in World War II.\" So says O.C. Central Command Maj.-Gen. Yitzchak Eitan in an interview in this month\'s edition of Nekudah. Nekudah is a Hebrew monthly geared to the intellectual right-wing population. Eitan says that the decrease in the Yesha population is not significant, and that those who are leaving this summer are not doing so for security reasons. \"The settlers are very strong in spirit, with a firm ideology, and this makes it easier for the army,\" Eitan says. \"I have no doubt that in the end, the IDF will defeat the Palestinians. Our ability to penetrate deep into their territory and pluck out wanted terrorists is maddening to them.\"
