Living in the divided city, the children of Jerusalem should be ready ambushed tension conflict. War, it seems, the task heritage for every generation. The city is located in the West Bank, and is claimed by Israel as its capital, while the Jewish state was founded in 1949. Israel reside in the area west of the city, while the eastern side is now claimed to be the capital of Palestine.
Jerusalem is the symbol for the endless battle. Hundreds of thousands of casualties due to the long Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In mid-March, for example, two Palestinian teenagers, and Mohamad Sayid Qadous, brandishing an ax, bully Israeli soldiers on guard in the southeast of Nablus, the West Bank. Israeli army bullets whistled. Two teenagers were collapsed. A teenager in another town, also was shot dead because of similar reasons.
The incident heat up the conflict situation in the whole land of Palestine. Action was just two days of Israeli air strikes into Raffah, which directly borders with Egypt. At least 15 civilians were seriously wounded, while the tunnel connecting the city that was built through years of formal negotiations were destroyed not left.

ISRAEL back threw provocative policy. In addition to repeatedly beat the Palestinians with missiles and bullets, the Zionist state was determined to continue to build Jewish settlements in eastern Jerusalem. Though the area came in the West Bank, and has been a source of dispute with the Palestinians.
Eastern Jerusalem is the most sensitive issue in Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel occupied Arab territory since the War of 1967, or so called "Six Day War", and claims all of Jerusalem is its capital. Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu was declared would never agree to share Jerusalem with the Palestinians.
But Palestinians assert eastern sector of Jerusalem - which became the location of sacred places for Christians, Muslims, and Jews - is their capital. Palestinians also include areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Adu claims have made Jerusalem a coal in Isreal-Palestine conflict.
Israel is also very arrogant. Two leaders of the world, namely U.S. Vice President, Joe Biden, and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, a visit to the Middle East, at a different time, in March. Both met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and urged for Israel to not provoke a new conflict that hinder peace talks. They urged Israel to stop building Jewish settlements in east Jerusalem, and the parapet between cities.
Insistence it is also the result of meeting terms of four-UN, European Union Community, the United States and Britain. But, Israel did not care. The country is even ignoring the advice of the United States, which has become an ally terkarib.
Even as mocking, Israel announced plans to build 1600 of homes for Jews in East Jerusalem, amid the tour Joe Biden, who previously insisted that the controversial project was stopped.
Biden replied 'embarrassing incident' it. At a state dinner honoring his visit Israel, Biden did not immediately come. He allowed Netanyahu to wait a half hour.
This week, Netanyahu will travel back to the United States. He's promised to give a good faith gesture to the Palestinians. For example, Netanyahu says, Israel will ease its blockade on the Gaza Strip and Fatah detainees freed. But he refused to revoke the decision of the construction of residential homes in Ramat Shlomo - East Jerusalem, which was widely protested.
Maybe Israel is too confident, that no one even strength - whether the United Nations, European Union, the United States, Britain or the combined fourth, able to change its policy. Israel also use double standard of those countries. Israel used this opportunity by continuing to suppress the Palestinians. For example, to date there is no immediate sanction Israel.
Meanwhile, peace talks increasingly obscure fate. "No point in negotiations, as long as Israel did not stop building settlements," said former Palestinian Minister of State for Jerusalem Affairs, Ziad Abu Zayyad to Eva Mazrieva of the quiz, the end of February 2010 in Jerusalem.

WALL-wall dividing Jerusalem, hoop or swing, and divide two lives. By reason of protecting its citizens from suicide bombings by Palestinian militants, Israel has built no less than 130 kilometers parapet in Israeli-Palestinian region.
Since 2002, the wall was increasingly reveals the wounds of Palestine. Face of the cities in this region was changed. In Bilin, West Bank, Gaza and Jericho, for example walls towering over 10 meters tall. The idea of this parapet had come from Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. He seems to be so traumatized by militant Palestinian youth suicide bombing, which burst and spread death in Jewish settlements.
Radicalism Palestinian children, according to Israeli President Shimon Peres, would complicate peace talks. Peres is a supporter of Two State Solution, namely the establishment of Israel and Palestine side by side. Peres feels a sense of trust between Israelis and Palestinians are now very rare. "They (Palestinians) are not our enemy, and we are confident that if their situation better, then we have good neighbors, too," said Peres.
But that trust can not be built anyway with parapet. The reason for the construction of the wall was also increasingly unfounded. The two residents who live on the land together is now very distant. ANTV a visit to Jerusalem, the holy city of three religions, the end of February, and watched on any existing parapet sophisticated monitoring system. Israel did not mebiarkan one Palestinian was passing without recorded. In addition, in places not walled barrier, Israel secretly founded 500s roadblocks.
No easy exit or enter through the walls of these roadblocks. The Israeli army on alert there. All the residents examined, from check identity cards and searched down to underwear. The delegation of Indonesian journalists and quiz lucky to break through the barrier wall was due to assurances from Israeli authorities that also accompany. Outside, a group of Palestinians queued to be examined, in order to pass through the wall.
Due to the parapet, humanitarian issues sticking in the cities of Palestine which Israel blockaded territory. Residents can not move freely. In fact, they are difficult to work, or stay in touch. Health facilities, education, food to clean water is limited. Health facilities, for example. "Here there were 20 thousand refugees, but there is only one clinic with three doctors," said a young man in Bethlehem, ten miles south of Jerusalem.
Problem of clean water is also a big problem. In the upper house of Palestinians in the West Bank, for example, loomed barrel cylinder of stainless steel to accommodate the water. Tong was placed on the house. The housewife, accustomed to backing up water and food in large quantities. Conflict situations of uncertainty, making them have to think about logistics supply is sufficient.
Protest from the world body is not nothing. International Court of Justice, for example, in 2004, has asked Israel tear down this barrier wall. The UN also condemned the presence of the wall, and roadblocks that restrict the movement of citizens. But until this report is derived, barrier walls were still standing with pongahnya.
Annexation of the land is also more aggressive. Former Minister Ziad Abu Ziyyad, senior politicians from Fatah, with the tone quietly claimed clueless face of Israeli policy. "I was really worried when peace talks began, there was no land left for the Palestinians", he said.
