With the end of the Israeli War on the Gaza Strip, the support for the right wing parties & its allies soared beyond expectations, which indicated an unmistakable sign to what favors the majority of the Israeli community. Thats what the newly elected mayor of Jerusalem is seeking to achieve popularity using the Palestinian homes and dreams to pave the way toward the stardom of the Israeli political arena.


On November 30, 2009, Colonists of Gedonim settlement took over 80 dunums of Yanun village lands in Bab al Faras area The colonists plowed the land under the protection of the Israeli Occupation Army. The stolen lands belonged to people from Bushnaq Family.


The Gilo expansion plan/s comes as a part of a greater package to expand and fortify the Israeli settlements in and around occupied East Jerusalem. It is also a part of the Israeli message to the world and the Palestinians in particular saying that Jerusalem is not up for negotiations.
