Jerusalem ethnic cleansing

Section: Political Books

Number of pages: 584 pages

Since the completion of the occupation of the city of Jerusalem more than half a century ago, following the June 1967 war, Israel has worked to Judaize the city, both urban and demographically. It has relied on a legal and administrative system to achieve this, which consolidates this political orientation, and has sought to fragment the urban, social and economic fabric of Jerusalem, by planting settlement outposts within it, and isolating the eastern part of the city from the rest of the West Bank, relying on the construction of settlements and the apartheid wall.

This book highlights the arenas of conflict based on ethnic cleansing and the mechanisms of Palestinian resistance by examining the legal status of Jerusalem, and examining its political, economic, social, cultural and religious reality, and the role of mass movements and social actors in the city in confronting the occupation policies. The book includes four sections whose themes are history and the conflict over holy sites, education and the conflict over awareness, tools of control over the city and methods of confrontation, and Jerusalem in international politics.
