While lurking online, I came across a Yahoo! News about:
AP IMPACT: Israeli settlers building 544 new homes

KARMEI TZUR, West Bank – Israeli settlers have begun building new homes at an extraordinary pace since the government lifted its moratorium on West Bank housing starts — almost 550 in three weeks, more than four times faster than the last two years.
And many homes are going up in areas that under practically any peace scenario would become part of a Palestinian state, a trend that could doom U.S.-brokered peace talks.
According to an Associated Press count, ground has been broken on 544 new West Bank homes since Sept. 26, when Israel lifted its 10-month freeze on most new settlement building.
So that’s the double digit number of 544 or the reverse of my agent code 445 (CA license plate number and land line phone number).
