If the JTF movement built up to 15,000 strong in Israel... could we flex muscles

If the movement built up to 15,000 willing JTF members in Israel...which is easily possible,  what would be the first show of strength they should do, to get their feet wet, but not waste time, or  be unproductive. They might be afraid to confront the army right away, when they come to evict the settlers.  What would be a good show of strength, and not waste time.  But we want to ensure that the people don't think their time is being wasted.  Or they won't come back, it's just human nature. 


It's gotta be something where they can see a result, even a small one.

It'd be great if they could stage a massive protest to get Chaim into Israel, especially if it received news coverage.

Now that's a great idea!!  That would be productive also, we could get a lot of covergae out of it, and possibly be a huge first step in getting Chaim into Israel.

It could backfire though, if the Israeli government decided to dig in their heels, or became even more afraid of what would happen if Chaim were to go there.

I see what you mean.  There has to be something, though.

They could build new settlements and keep putting them up after they're bulldozed.

I think that might be viewed as unproductive.  These are just beginners, building a house in the hot desert sun, and watching the army knock it down, wouldn't be a good first showing.  There's gotta be something.

15000 out of 6 million Jews?  Need more than that i think if we are just looking at numbers.  Better than numbers is recognition and familiarity.  Being on popular TV shows and radio shows helps...Promotion would be an awesome thing to become larger.

Have you ever read "The Tipping Point"?  It takes a certain number strong to cause a quick growth and popularity of something.  Maybe 15000 strong dedicated people might be enough to cause a trend...maybe one needs 100,000...who knows?
