The correct term would be intelligence gathering.<br /><br />And the mere fact that you perceive their visits as being spy-like in nature--your gut instinct--is probably correct.<br /><br />They're sending out a vibe of some sort that you're picking up as spying.<br /><br /><br />OT but missionary groups are doing the same thing with their dialogues and visists--learn enough about Jewish and Israeli culture to use to their advantage.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-31020396984849882712010-02-07T19:26:14.012+02:002010-02-07T19:26:14.012+02:00Yes, a euphemism, nu?Yes, a euphemism, nu?Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-89218164981411581182010-02-07T18:17:02.461+02:002010-02-07T18:17:02.461+02:00Shalom!

A good euphemism could be "maintaining/improving diplomatic relations through contact with residents of communities in Judea and Samaria". So someone gets a memo assigning him the job of paying a visit in order to "maintain etc." He says to himself, "Oh, good. I get to spy again. I always wanted to join the CIA, but I was accepted to the diplomatic corps instead. I always regretted that."Hadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-78567106459009214032010-02-07T13:01:34.060+02:002010-02-07T13:01:34.060+02:00yes, my sentimentsyes, my sentimentsBatyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-33109577124917375012010-02-07T11:47:02.472+02:002010-02-07T11:47:02.472+02:00It sure sounds like spying.

They want to see how we live, what our houses look like, what the communities look like up close, etc. It's all part of learning what "makes us tick". If they hear us talking to our neighbors, that's a bonus. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were genuinely curious, in addition to their professional snooping.Hadassanoreply@blogger.com
