Israel planning to build 600 more homes in East Jerusalem
More homes are intended to be built near the Pisgat Zeev neighbourhood and the Palestinian area of Shuafat, but that the original plan had been scaled back to 600 from an original 1,100 when it was learned some of the land was owned privately by Palestinians.
More than 200,000 Israelis already live in East Jerusalem and nearby areas of the West Bank that Israel captured in the 1967 Six-Day War and considers part of the biblical city it sees as its it sees as its
eternal and indivisible capital.
Palestinians want East Jerusalem as capital of a future state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu excluded Jerusalem from a 10-month moratorium in settlement building he ordered in November.
The World Court has ruled that all the settlements Israel has built in these territories are illegal.

Meanwhile, in Sheikh Jarrah the struggle continues…..
Once a vibrant Palestinian neighbourhood in East Jerusalem, Sheikh Jarrah, through the Israeli government’s surrogate “settlers” and its corrupt judicial system is now receiving the full, virulent ethnic cleansing attentions of that rogue criminal state.
On 24 February 2010 Sheikh Jarrah witnessed a riot that resulted in the arrest of one Palestinian man, pepper spray of one Palestinian woman and her child and the injury of two Palestinian children.
