Oh I thought even less than that, but they're on their way out either way.

Well you seem to be correct, their number is estimated at 750. But they have been consistently growing in numbers since 1919 when they numbered only 150.

to me "A good Samaritan" is a dead one.

That is a sickening thing to say.
Many people in America believe they are 'Good Samaritans" Meaning a good person that helps.
Are you talking about ALL people that live in samaria??

We are not talking about your "Good Samaritan" in the sense that it is a person who does good deeds... The Samaritans were a break-away sects from Judaism and they stabbed us in the backs... I concur that Samaritans are not friends to Jews.

The protagonist in a certain story of the Christians' Bible aka "new testament" was the so-called "good samaritan." That was purposeful because it took an enemy of the Jewish people and raised its status up as the hero of a story doing a good deed because that was supposed to mock us since samaritans were against us. Nowadays people refer to any citizen doing a good deed as a "good samaritan" but really, that term referred to actual Samaritans, and it was a message trying to elevate the enemies of the Jews and lower the Jews (and their religion) in the eyes of the reader...
