Abstract

The article presents a summary of interview with Alaa Salman, a resident of Beit Safafa with the hope of shedding light on the human dimensions of forced population transfer. It cites the transformation of the village into a by-pass road for colonizers of Gush Etzion providing them with easy motor access to the center of Jerusalem, dividing the village into 4 separate parts. Beit Safaf residents are seeking recourse with administrative appeal to the District Court to freeze construction work.
