• The life of hope, then, is shot through with social influences at every level. We learn to formulate ideals in tandem with others. We pursue particular hopes, sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing, in the company of those we love.

• There is the Jewish Agency, which gets a lot of money from the United States, from American Jews, whose sole job it is to create settlements.
