    Beit Jala City Profile Prepared by The Applied Research Institute – Jerusalem Funded by Spanish Cooperation Azahar Program 2010 Palestinian Localities Study Bethlehem Governorate Acknowledgments ARIJ hereby expresses its deep gratitude to the Spanish agency for International Cooperation for Development (AECID) for their funding of this project through the Azahar Program. ARIJ is grateful to the Palestinian officials in the ministries, municipalities, joint services councils, village committees and councils, and the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) for their assistance and cooperation with the project team members during the data collection process.

These booklets came as a result of a comprehensive study of all localities in Bethlehem Governorate, which aims at depicting the overall living conditions in the governorate and presenting developmental plans to assist in developing the livelihood of the population in the area. It was accomplished through the "Village Profiles and Azahar Needs Assessment;" the project funded by the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation for Development (AECID) and the Azahar Program. The "Village Profiles and Azahar Needs Assessment" was designed to study, investigate, analyze and document the socio-economic conditions and the needed programs and activities to mitigate the impact of the current unsecure political, economic and social conditions in Bethlehem Governorate with particular focus on the Azahar program objectives and activities concerning water, environment, and agriculture.

  • Akel House – Deir Yassin PDF Processed with Cutepdf Evaluation
    Akel House – Deir Yassin Photog raphy Tzachi Ostrovsky Text Haim Hanegbi In his home in the Old City of Jerusalem, a two minute walk from Herod’s Gate, Muhammad Radwan Akel lives with the memories of his childhood home in the village of Deir Yassin, as if past and present were intertwined. He places the trucks in a line on the table, one next to the other, and smiles. He takes one of them, presses a small switch on its side and places it on the floor. And the truck, like a truck, silver letters reading IMPERIAL engraved on its sides, drives straight at the nearby wall and gets stuck. None of the guests says a word, or asks what the game might mean. And he, the owner of the strange fleet of trucks, looks at his guests as if he were joking, and a long moment passes before he solves for them the riddle of his “reds” . The Deir Yassin massacre, 9 April 1948 – the most widely known of all the massacres that occurred that year – caught Muhammad Radwan when he was 20 years old, but thanks to God’s mercy, he says, I escaped alive from that hell. The fear of death was everywhere in the village that day, which Radwan remembers. Exploding bombs and the sound of gunfire filled the air, and from time to time, when they briefly subsided, cries for help and wailing could be heard everywhere. Some people closed themselves up in their homes, and some burst outside without giving it a second thought.

  • Jerusalem Syndrome, Which Can Be Triggered by a Visit to the City
    Jerusalem, showing municipal borders and neighbourhoods Metropolitan Disorders—10 yonatan mendel NEW JERUSALEM ncyclopædias of psychology cite a type of religious psychosis known as the Jerusalem Syndrome, which can be triggered by a visit to the city. Symptoms can include bellow- ing liturgical songs, delivering moralistic sermons and an Eintensified concern with cleanliness and ritual purity. Though similar reactions have been recorded at other holy cities, notably Rome and Mecca, Jerusalem holds the record for this psychopathology.1 From the point of view of any normal urban logic, however, the city itself appears crazier still. Its boundaries extend far beyond its core population centres, encompassing dozens of villages, barren hilltops, orchards and tracts of desert, as well as new-build suburbs with scant relation to the historical city; in the north, they stretch up, like a long middle finger, nearly to Ramallah, to take in the old Qalandia airport, some 10 kilometres from the Old City walls, and bulge down almost to Bethlehem in the south. Jerusalem’s former Deputy Mayor, Meron Benvenisti, has said of these monstrously extended city limits: I’ve reached the point that when someone says ‘Jerusalem’ I am very cynical about it. This is a term that has been totally emptied of its content. Today there is no geographic concept called ‘Jerusalem’, and instead I suggest using a new term, ‘Jermudin’, which is the territory stretched from Jericho to Modi’in. Someone decided to rub the hills that have no connection to Jerusalem with holy oil, and today we need to deal with a ‘Jerusalem’ region, which is unmanageable and which is held by force.2 But if the cityscape of Jerusalem has no decipherable urban logic, what rationality has shaped its growth? In Benvenisti’s view, ‘it all started from the post-1967 municipal borders and the famous principle of maximum new left review 81 may june 2013 35 36 nlr 81 square kilometres of land and minimum number of Arabs.’3 There is much to be said for this hypothesis; but we will have to begin a little earlier than that.
