[news] The Process of Transfer Continues

"The Municipality of Jerusalem intends to demolish an entire East Jerusalem neighborhood -- 88 homes housing 1000 residents -- in the el-Bustan area of Silwan village in East Jerusalem, close to the walls of the Old City." ... "The operation, the largest demolition of Palestinian homes in Jerusalem since 1967, is code-named 'The Cherry in the Crown.'" ... "Since the Israeli government zoned almost all the unbuilt-upon land of Palestinian East Jerusalem as 'open green space' after the 1967 war (and since Palestinians would not be allowed to live in Jewish West Jerusalem), there is little space for them at all. The reasons are political, not urban."
