		fruit trees and olive orchards, on a beautiful hill between Jerusalem 

		and Bethlehem. Within a few years, however, very little of this may be 

		left. &nbsp;Unless people take action, this village will most likely disappear.&nbsp; 

		Israeli courts may rule yet again that the residents of Al-Nu'eman have no right 

		to their lands and their homes, that they are trespassers in their own village, 

		and a threat to Israeli security. The siege around Al-Nu'eman from all sides is 

		tightening, and it seems that soon its inhabitants will be rendered refugees. 

		If we cannot stop this silent deportation, we can at least speak out, make this 

		case known, and share with you, in sharp detail, how the larger picture 

		of occupation is personally felt by the residents of this village.

		<b><font face="David" size="4">Mistaken identity</font></b><br>

		<font face="David" size="4">The Al-Nu'eman tragedy began in 1967, when 

		an Israeli army committee charged with setting the post-occupation 

		borders of Jerusalem, decided to annex the village to Jerusalem, and 

		thus to the state of Israel. Residents of Al-Nu'eman, however, were 

		listed in the census of that same year as residents of nearby Umm 

		at-Tala', which was not annexed to Jerusalem. Al-Nu'eman`s land was now 

		officially part of Israel, but its people were not &#8211; they had become 

		residents of the Occupied Territories. For more than 25 years this 

		absurd situation mattered very little &#8211; the city of Jerusalem did not 

		provide the village with any services, nor did it collect taxes or 

		enforce building codes so the village continued its life the way that it 

		always had. Children and adults went to school and worked in the closest 

		villages which were part of the Jerusalem Municipality, received 

		services from the Occupied Territories, and no one knew there was a 

		problem. (An article about

		Legal status of East Jerusalem and its residents'</a> in 'B'tselem'

		<b><font face="David" size="4">Welcome to Jerusalem</font></b><span lang="HE"><br>

		</span><font face="David" size="4">Trouble started in the 1990s. In 

		1992, representatives of the Israeli government arrived in the village 

		and announced that since the city of Jerusalem had not prepared a zoning 

		plan for the area, building of any kind was prohibited. In 1996, the 

		children of Al-Nu'eman were made to leave the school in neighboring Umm 

		Tuba, because the school belongs to Jerusalem municipality and they did 

		not have Jerusalem residency. In 1993, Israel enforced a closure on the 

		Occupied Territories, and since that time has required special permits 

		for any Palestinian seeking to enter Israel from the territories. Thus, 

		it became ostensibly illegal for residents of Al-Nu'eman to live in 

		their own homes. In 2003, when plans for the "separation barrier" were on 

		the way, the men of the village were occasionally arrested 

		in their homes and charged with illegal presence in Israel 

		(<a href="http://www.ipc.gov.ps/ipc_e/ipc_e-1/e_Articles/2003/articles-030.html">an 

		article on the consequences of the fence</a> in 'The Guardian'). All efforts 

		to change this situation through the Israeli Ministry of the Interior 

		and the Israeli Supreme Court have been rebuffed. The village continues 

		to receive water, electricity, and sewage services from the Occupied 

		Territories, and now the only contact residents have with the Jerusalem 

		Municipality is in the heavy fines they pay for building their houses, 

		and the charges that they must pay for the Israeli demolition of two 

		`illegal` homes in January 2006. Further demolitions are pending.</font></p>

		<font face="David" size="4">Two roads once led to Al-Nu'eman. In 1994, 

		the Israeli army began intermittently blocking the road leading north, 

		towards neighboring Umm Tuba and Jerusalem. Thus, Bethlehem became the 

		residents` only choice for services and employment. In 2003, as work on 

		the separation barrier got under way, the road to Bethlehem was also 

		blocked, first intermittently and now permanently. The village is thus 

		effectively under siege. The residents are supposedly permitted to pass 

		into the Occupied Territories but, in fact, are harassed daily as they 

		try and enter through the gate in the barrier, while entering Israel is 

		illegal since they are not residents.</font></p>

		the Ministry of Housing and the Jerusalem Municipality. He presented a 

		map showing the projected separation barrier cutting the village off 

		from the Occupied Territories, and told residents the decision had been 

		taken to `clear` the village of its residents. Cahana offered financial 

		compensation for those willing to leave immediately. Those who stay, he 

		said, `will be like a tree without water`. Human rights activists, 

		lawyers and journalists have been here since, promising to fight the 

		decree. But Cahana, it seems, may have the last word. (<a style="font-family: David;" href="http://taayush.tripod.com/new/20030620-haaretz.html">To
