The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

Hundreds of people sent faxes and e-mails to the Nature and Parks Authority, and results soon followed: The Jerusalem municipality has announced the allocation of additional lands for the development of Issawiya and A-Tour, at the expense of the intended national park. In the upcoming months the struggle to determine the size of land allocated to the neighborhoods will continue, and will determine the fate of thousands of families living in the area. Continuing the struggle at this time is crucial. So what can you do? 1. Come to the weekly protest vigil in Issawiya, this coming Friday, March 23, at 11:45 AM. We will meet at the Eastern lookout of Mount Scopus, at 11:45 AM. For details, call 0525596500 For the facebook event, click here http://www.facebook.com/events/386603664691512/ 2.
