  • The Next Jerusalem
    The Next Introduction1 Jerusalem: Since the beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian Potential Futures conflict, the city of Jerusalem has been the subject of a number of transformations that of the Urban Fabric have radically changed its urban structure. Francesco Chiodelli Both the Israelis and the Palestinians have implemented different spatial measures in pursuit of their disparate political aims. However, it is the Israeli authorities who have played the key role in the process of the “political transformation” of the Holy City’s urban fabric, with the occupied territories of East Jerusalem, in particular, being the object of Israeli spatial action. Their aim has been the prevention of any possible attempt to re-divide the city.2 In fact, the military conquest in 1967 was not by itself sufficient to assure Israel that it had full and permanent The wall at Abu Dis. Source: Photo by Federica control of the “unified” city – actually, the Cozzio (2012) international community never recognized [ 50 ] The Next Jerusalem: Potential Futures of the Urban Fabric the 1967 Israeli annexation of the Palestinian territories, and the Palestinians never ceased claiming East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state. So, since June 1967, after the overtly military phase of the conflict, Israeli authorities have implemented an “urban consolidation phase,” with the aim of making the military conquests irreversible precisely by modifying the urban space. Over the years, while there have been no substantial advances in terms of diplomatic agreements between the Israelis and the Palestinians about the status of Jerusalem, the spatial configuration of the city has changed constantly and quite unilaterally.

  • A Wall in Jerusalem: Obstacles to Human Rights in the Holy City
    A WALL IN JERUSALEM: OBSTACLES TO HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE HOLY CITY Summer 2006 The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories Human Rights Jerusalem, a center for faith and a symbol of hope, presents a sad reality: segregation, discrimination and deprivation of basic human needs are the daily lot of an entire community. Lior Mizrahi, Bau Lior Mizrahi, 2 in the Holy City It is difficult to speak about Jerusalem in an indifferent manner. Discussions about Jerusalem - a holy city for Judaism, Christianity and Islam - are loaded with symbolism, religious sentiment and nationalist rhetoric. To quote Yehuda Amichai, one of Israel's finest poets: The air above Jerusalem is filled with prayers and dreams Like air above cities with heavy industry Hard to breathe From time to time a new shipment of history arrives Nevertheless, Jerusalem is not just a symbol, but also a living city, and the latest shipment of history - Israel's 1967 occupation of East Jerusalem - is not a history of prophets and profound truths. It is a history of dispossession, systematic discrimination and an ongoing assault on the basic rights of the Palestinian residents of the city. It doesn't have to be this way. Instead of exacerbating social divisions, Israeli policy could advance Jerusalem's standing as a vibrant, prosperous and beautiful city of pluralism and tolerance. This publication is intended for those who want Jerusalem to be a city of justice, a city where all its residents can live in safety and dignity. The focus of the publication is the Separation Barrier that Israel is currently constructing around the city, which is a source of great suffering for those who live along its route.

  • Bir Nabala Wall: a Devastating Blow to the Palestinian Economy
    MA’AN DEVELOPMENT CENTER Case Study West Bank Apartheid Wall February 2007 Bir Nabala Wall: A Devastating Blow to the Palestinian Economy As a result of Israel’s apartheid wall, the Jerusalem district has suffered immeasur- able loss. In a stormy afternoon, Haj Tawfik Nabeli, Bir Nabala’s head of counsel, explained impacts of the wall as we were surveying the damage in the area. Bir Nabala is one of Jerusalem’s many Palestinian neighborhoods isolated from the rest of the city by 181 km of the eight-meter high concrete Wall that is, in Nabeli’s words, “affecting every single aspect of life.” Bir Nabala was once a bustling commercial center, sometimes linking the people of northern West Bank cities such and Jenin and Tulkarm with the greater Jerusalem metropolis. Because of the neighborhood’s strategic location, many Palestinians de- pended on more than 600 businesses and shops as well as six tire factories to main- tain their livelihoods. When the occupying power decided to build the Wall in the area, its affect could be felt in every area of life. The shops now number less than 180 and only two tire factories remain. Walking the streets of Bir Nabala is a sobering experience. One imagines what once was but is confronted with boarded-up houses and block after block of closed shops. The occupation’s industrial zones form a ring around the Palestinian neighborhoods, adding to the chocking economic growth and development of the occupation. The Qalandia checkpoint stands watch over the area, controlling the every move- ment of Palestinians as they go about their daily lives.
