A long awaited mention

I'd been waiting for this article for some time. A friend of mine, Glenn Jasper, and his family made Aliyah. As I understood, the Baltimore Sun was to publish the article shortly after the Jaspers made Aliyah, in January. For whatever reason the article was delayed until now. Despite the too many references to "settlements," "A leap of faith" is a reasonably sympathetic article. (Not perfect. Too much dubious politics mars the article.) There also some nice photographs.
At least in the case of the Jaspers, if you use the term "settlements," they are settlers. The San Franciso Chronicle recently profiled some Olim, who live in West Jerusalem, yet referred to them as "settlers". (via Backspin)
UPDATE: Glenn (now Go-el) Jasper has written a number of articles for Arutz-7. Check them out. Philip Wilcox has argued that Israel's separation fence is a violation of international law. I'm sure a less biased individual could have been used as a source.
