Another example of the drive to move more Jews to the Galilee was the establishment of mitzpim (lookout) settlements beginning in the late 1970s. The Jewish Agency was ‘the driving force’ behind this initiative, which by the end of the 1980s had established several dozen such communities.51 The Jewish Agency for Israel describes the background frankly on its website:

In large areas of the north, where Jewish settlement was fairly scarce, there was a substantial Arab minority. Occasional discomfort had been expressed over the situation through the years; Menachem Begin’s first government decided that the time had come to act. A plan was developed for a series of settlements, called Mitzpim (look-outs), to be placed on the higher topographical points of the areas defined as priorities.52
