12:25 pm
captured the eastern part of the city in 1967 bringing the whole of jerusalem under its control in defiance of international law. since then israel has been working with determination to weild the 2 parts of the city into its eternal indivisible capital by building houses for jews and destroying houses in the meantime our ups. israel's project isn't nearly complete within a year or 2 if no one intervenes the invisible line dividing jerusalem into jewish and arab parts will be erased. the palestinian village of city one clings to a steep hill side
12:26 pm
a single voice of the old city in the valley below lies al gore style neighborhood it's a setting resonant with meeting for muslims christians and jews. that will stand a boat is situated in the most important one of the most important areas in jerusalem right next to the walls of the intensity situated wide where the temple mount is is observed very very closely so it is one of the most important areas in journalism and maybe maybe in the entire war so the israeli authorities have plans for a woodstock they say the houses in these narrow alleyways were built without permits they want to flatten the whole neighborhood and tun it into open parkland 6. it's a tourist development plan that would wreck the lives of an entire palestinian community the municipality has slapped. you know what is on 88 houses which would

12:28 pm
jewish settlers have moved in they built extra rooms sometimes extra floors but the chef doesn't recall any of these houses being demolished. at the same time a battle for historical the chitta missy is on the way archaeologists digging at several sites in east jerusalem with a clear political agenda to uncover evidence of ancient jewish life that would strengthen israel's claim to the whole city we haven't been allowed to go in and film what you think that is where this character arises in this present stage of archaeology here and see which is archaeology behind fences and it seems they want to keep things under wraps to prevent people from from hearing it and what about you have you been able to get inside i can't get into any of these sites bird from visiting that it seems that the antiquities authority doesn't want criticism like a sort of her work. one reason for that the antiquities authority which is
12:29 pm
a state body has handed over some of the sites to a private organization called an ad which is run by israeli settlers. and lerma who runs the national or has taken the interpretation associating with fragmentary names with him very very has made it a corner so very tired protesting the site so that really history for them begins with and when in fact archaeological remains can be directly associated with very bitter almost nonexistent. so there's a definite conflict of interest there between their role as stewards of the ancient heritage and their role as surplus and as people who want to actually dispossessed the palestinians and see the world meet one such settler area a king. armed only with a motor scooter and a crash helmet he wants to evict palestinians from east jerusalem and replace them with jewish families he's on
