Israel's Berlin Wall Goes Up in Jerusalem

Israeli construction crews hoisted 25 ft high concrete slabs into the middle of a main road in a Palestinian suburb of Jerusalem today, cutting off thousands of people from the city they consider their home.

The impenetrable wall is part of a series of barriers Israel is building around much of the West Bank with the stated aim of keeping out Palestinian militants. Palestinians see it as an effort to take land they claim for a future state.

Along its path, the barrier has cut Palestinians off from their fields and schools, their hospitals and businesses.

The new wall in Abu Dis, on the eastern outskirts of Jerusalem, replaces a much lower divider that had slowed, but not stopped the flow of people and goods between the West Bank and Jerusalem.

The construction signalled that Israelâs encirclement of Jerusalem is becoming more permanent.

Rarely is the divide as stark as it is in Abu Dis, where construction crews arrived on Saturday night to tear down the old six ft barrier that hundreds of residents climbed over every day and replace it with an impassable wall four times as tall that runs down the centre of Shayah St.

The old wall was covered with graffiti declaring: âThe wall is wrong,â and âApartheid wall.â

The construction confused and angered residents, many of whom consider themselves Jerusalemites, carry the blue identification card of Jerusalem residents and say they pay Jerusalem city taxes.

âThis is Jerusalem. Why are they putting the wall here,â said Yazid Abu Hliel, 31, who lives on the West Bank side of the new barrier.

Abu Hliel worries that his four children will not be able to cross to get to school and he wonât be able to reach his job as a floor polisher.

â They are putting us into prisons,â he said.

Palestinian leaders have reacted with anger to the building of the barrier, a line of walls, trenches, fences and razor wire that snakes through parts of West Bank land that Palestinians claim for a future state.

âAt a time when weâre trying to make peace, the Israeli government continues with the wall, settlement activity, stifling ... closures, in a line of fait accomplis that destroy the essence of peace in the region,â Palestinian Cabinet minister Saeb Erekat said.
