"Without a work permit or a blue ID card, Marwan says he crosses
illegally through a part of the separation wall that remains
unfinished, to work in Aminadav, the moshav built on old Walajeh’s
ruins. “Just this fence,” he says, “is like a knife in the heart.”
Marwan’s family has land on the other side of the wall." - id | 21/3/2018 |

| Jerusalem electricity company crippled by Israel, Palestinian Authority | | Daoud Kuttab - Al-Monitor - Ever since the occupation and the Israeli
unilateral annexation, JDECO has been seen as an important Palestinian
institution. But in recent years, it has been hobbled by debt and its
effectiveness has been greatly reduced. JDECO is one of the biggest
employers in Jerusalem, with more than 1,000 Palestinians working for
the company, according to Omari. As the struggle for Jerusalem and its
identity intensifies, the role of a company this large becomes crucial
in defending Palestinian national identity and the rights of
Palestinians in and around Jerusalem.-rh

| Palestinian assailant shot dead after stabbing and killing Israeli settler in Old City | | Ma`an - During the attack, 28-year-old Abd al-Rahman Bani Fadel, from the northern occupied West Bank village of Aqraba was shot by an Israeli police officer, with witnesses telling Ma’an that he was shot more than 10 times.
The Israeli narrative of “lone wolf” Palestinian assailants under the influence of incitement, which has been perpetuated by the current right-wing Israeli government, has been dismissed by analysts as overly simplistic.
Palestinians have instead pointed chiefly to the frustration and despair brought on by Israel`s 50-year military occupation of the Palestinian territory and the absence of a political horizon. [bz] | 20/3/2018 |

high fees, unless he demolishes his own home" [ry] | 19/3/2018 |

| 15 Years of Separation: The Palestinians Cut Off From Jerusalem by the Wall | | Neta Ahituv -
Haaretz

| Israel passes law to strip residency of Jerusalem`s Palestinians | | Aljazeera - Despite Israel`s claims that occupied East Jerusalem is
part of its "eternal, undivided" capital, the Palestinians who are
born and live there do not hold Israeli citizenship, unlike their
Jewish counterparts. Palestinians in the city are given "permanent
residency" ID cards and temporary Jordanian passports that are only
used for travel purposes. They are essentially stateless, stuck in
legal limbo - they are not citizens of Israel, nor are they citizens
of Jordan or Palestine. The new bill will only worsen the difficult
conditions for the 420,000 Palestinians living in occupied East
Jerusalem, who are treated as foreign immigrants by the state.-rh | 15/3/2018 |

| Our Jerusalem — A Reality Check | | Menachem Klein - Palestine-Israel Journal - The concept of “Our
Jerusalem” underwent a revolutionary change at the end of the 19th
century. Until then, conquerors came from outside, one after another,
fought over the right to control the city and struggled to determine
that it belonged to them. New historical research shows that at the
end of the 19th century, it was to the residents of the city and their
children, who identified themselves as locals, that the city belonged.
The rise of a local patriotic nationalism with Jerusalem at its center
occurred before the arrival of Zionism and is connected to the
modernization that affected the country. Contrary to the Zionist claim
that the Zionist immigrants, together with the British, brought
modernization to Jerusalem, the research shows that it was an organic
local development which preceded them. The residents of Jerusalem,
from all religions, had a place in this new identity.-rh | 14/3/2018 |

| Israeli forces raid East Jerusalem cemetery, destroy tombstones of slain Palestinians | | Maan - At 3 a.m. Husni al-Kilani, supervisor of the al-Mujahideen
cemetery in East Jerusalem, was woken up by an urgent call: in an unprecedented move Israeli
forces were raiding the cemetery and smashing
tombstones. The seven destroyed tombstones were of the Palestinians
killed by same Israeli forces during a wave of violence across East
Jerusalem and the West Bank that erupted in October 2015. The
tombstones were engraved about a year-and-a-half ago with a verse
from the Quran and the sentence "graves of martyrs of the Intifada
of Jerusalem”. Al-Kilani recounted that Israeli forces had
previously demanded that he remove the words "heroic martyr" that
were engraved before the name of each of the deceased Palestinians,
and threatened to destroy all the tombstones if he did not. Now, evidently, the threat was carried out. [ak] | 13/3/2018 |

| US Jerusalem move is `official adoption of Israeli narrative` | | Alia Al Ghussain - Aljazeera - Ahmad Tibi, speaking at a conference on
Saturday in London titled, Is President Trump legalising the
occupation?, claimed: "The most dangerous element of Trump`s embassy
decision is that it says Israel has the right to decide where its
capital is, simply because parliament and the Supreme Court are
there." "This is an official adoption of the Israeli narrative."-rh
