Abstract: Tariq Bab al-Silsila (Chain Street) is a major historical commercial and residential street in the old walled city of Jerusalem. The road displays an architectural museum, exhibiting tens of historical buildings with strikingly beautiful facades. Most of the existing buildings date to the Mamluk period (1260–1516), and some to the Crusader period (1099– 1189). Besides being an exhibition of historical buildings, the road also bears testimony to the cultural life of Jerusalem over more than seven centuries. The mixture of commerce, industry, pilgrimage, charitable foundations, and education can be seen in its zenith in Tariq Bab al- Silsila, which today is also a suq that since 1967 resists for its survival.

Abstract: Silwan neighborhood, immediately south of the outer walls of Jerusalem's Old City, has been the site of an ongoing Zionist settlement campaign using all of the diverse tools of demographic displacement. This settlement drive in Silwan has reached blatant proportions, enploying claims of “state lands,” Jewish land ownership before the Nakba, “absentee property,” creation of archaeological and heritage sites, national parks, and historical cemeteries based on biblical narratives, outright property confiscation under various pretexts, demolitions of buildings without permits, and more. In contrast, exacerbated by high Palestinian population growth on the one hand and the looting of their land on the other hand, the distinct neighborhoods that form Silwan have been turned into pockets of poverty and slums. Despite this, these residents have developed their own ways to struggle to resist Zionist settlement and maintain families in their homes.

Abstract: The British vision for the future of Jerusalem was drawn much earlier than its occupation of the city. Nineteenth-century British travelers, explorers, and missionaries had already connected Jerusalem with the biblical narrative and determined its future. Regardless of what actually existed on the ground, in their view Jerusalem had to narrate a particular history.The Zionist movement contacted the world famous city planner Patrick Geddes in order to plan the first “Jewish city,” namely Tel Aviv, which he completed in 1925. But the most important project for Geddes in Palestine was the preparation of a scheme for the city of Jerusalem. The “green and open- mindedness” of Geddes, a sensibility he presented throughout his various projects around the world, soon became hostage to the religious myth in Jerusalem, where suddenly-remembered biblical texts guided his thinking about the city. The protection of the cultural-religious landscape in accordance with the biblical narrative was a theme for a number of researchers. Geddes’ scheme for the city can be seen along with the rest of the plans, documentation, and ideas of a large number of explorers of Jerusalem in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, his plan was actually effected in the city and is still current today. One of his ideas was to demolish the Mughrabi neighborhood in the Old City in order to expose the “Wailing Wall,” a plan that was in fact implemented directly after the Israeli occupation of the Old City in June 1967.The main aim of this article is to compare the current Israeli plans for “national parks” with those proposed by Geddes a century ago, but also to understand the ideological background of Geddes’ plans for Jerusalem and his relationship to the Zionist Movement.

Keywords: Arab-Israeli conflict Territorial questions ; Arab-Israeli conflict Law and legislation ; Land tenure ; Sheikh Jarrah (Jerusalem, Israel) History

Abstract: Tens of Palestinian refugee families face eviction from their homes in Jerusalem's Shaykh Jarrah neighborhood after the claim that the land on which their house was built in 1956 belonged to Jewish owners prior to 1948. Israeli law allows Jews to reclaim their properties within the 1967 occupied territories, but denies Palestinians the same right, despite the fact that, according to Israeli law, both Palestinians and Israelis in Jerusalem live under Israeli jurisdiction. By clearly exposing Israel's apartheid policies, the struggle waged by this small Shaykh Jarrah neighborhood of twenty-eight houses could begin a new era in the Jerusalem front line of the Palestinian-Israel conflict.
