If not for the holy residents of Kiryat Arba living on the frontier, the roads to Yerushayalim would be non accessible.
#1 & #2 – Geographically it depends where you are coming from.
Regardless, – the point IS that the wonderful people of Hevron, and ALL over Yehuda and Shomron are the modern day heroes of Israel. Despite the efforts of the G-dless, spineless government of Israel to demonize them, THEY are Israel’s front line, both strategically and emotionally. If not for them, who would the nation look to (aside of course, to HKB”H) for courage and inspiration – not the Tel Aviv crowd to be sure.
I was just in Chevron on Wednesday.
The mesiras nefesh of the Yoshvei Chevron for Torah, Am Yisroel and Eretz Yisroel is beyond belief.
Hashem should protect them and help them be matzliach.
