Israel has secret plan to thwart division of Jerusalem.

The government and settler organizations are working to surround the Old City of Jerusalem with nine national parks, pathways and sites, drastically altering the status quo in the city. The secret plan was assigned to the Jerusalem Development Authority (JDA).

In a report presented to former prime minister Ehud Olmert on September 11 last year, the JDA described the purpose of the project as "to create a sequence of parks surrounding the Old City," all in the aspiration "to strengthen Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel."

The program, sponsored by the Prime Minister's Office and the mayor of Jerusalem, is secret and did not engage in any form of public discussion.

According to an analysis by Ir Amim, a non-profit organization dedicated to Jerusalem issues that impact on Israeli and Palestinians which exposed this detailed, confidential government plan, the motivation is to create Israeli hegemony over the area around the Old City, "inspired by extreme right-wing ideology."

"This program integrates with statutory program 11555, approved by the Jerusalem municipality in November 2007, designed to accelerate development in one of the most important archaeological sites in Israel. The array of escalators, cable cars and tunnels included in the plan portend blatant signs of a biblical playground populated by settler organizations," which the organization says will be carried out by ousting Palestinian residents.

Does anyone seriously believe that the Palestinians have a partner for peace?

1. Israel will never give up the settlements

because no one in Israel would want the crazy settlers to move in next door to them. It would be like one of us having a KKK member next door.

4. The plan was exposed by Israel's Peace Now organization

just as other secret evil plans have been exposed in the United States.

Your faux scepticism is getting tiresome, particularly the one on the Taleban.
