The facts on the ground put the lie to so many of the BDS claims - such as 'ethnic cleansing'

A surprising process of 'Israelisation' is taking place among Palestinians in East Jerusalem
Along with the nationalist radicalisation, widespread support for Hamas and widespread clashes, less predictable dynamics are afoot.

A year ago, for the first time, the Jerusalem Municipality and the Israel postal service established a post office in the village of Isawiyah, which lies below Mount Scopus, within the municipal boundaries.

These developments followed a petition to the High Court of Justice, submitted by residents with the aid of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel. But the municipality could not find a site for the post office, since most of the buildings in the village were illegal structures, so their future was thus in question.

jonathan, i hope you have permission to reproduce this haaretz article?

it's normally behind a paywall, and quoting the whole of a very long article (and without any attempt at review or criticism) would almost certainly fail to be "fair dealing" under the copyright designs and patents act 1988

I wonder how Tony Kushner would react to this truth. Because he throws around this charge of ethnic cleansing, I wouldn't pay anything to view his work, including the film 'Lincoln', for which he's the screenwriter.
