    Jerusalem: New center planned at sensitive site

    JERUSALEM (AP) — A hard-line Israeli group is launching plans for a new tourist center at the site of a politically sensitive archaeological dig in a largely Arab neighborhood outside Jerusalem's Old City.

    The group, the Elad Foundation, says the new center and parking garage will be built above part of the excavation area known as the City of David, leaving the ruins below accessible.

    Critics say the plan will further cement Israel's hold on the neighborhood, Silwan, which is in east Jerusalem. That's the part of the city the Palestinians want as the capital of a hoped-for state.

    Construction is still years away. A spokesman for Jerusalem City Hall says the plans will be discussed in a committee Wednesday and would then be open to public objections.

      Keep building Israel.............Jerusalem belongs to you. Jerusalem appears 669 times in the Hebrew Bible, and not even once in the Quran. Islam's only tie to Jerusalem is the Al-Aqsa Mosque, purposely built on the ruins of the Jewish Temple after the Arab conquest of Jerusalem in 638 AD. Israel needs to cut any claims Muslims have to Jerusalem, starting with the demolition of that Mosque, and then the transfer of all Arabs who do not recognize Jewish sovereignty over the land of Israel to any one of their 22 states. Long live Israel!

        The Bible is nothing more than ancient Jewish propaganga, aimed at the time to bolster the right of Jews invading others lands....guess not much has changed over thousands of years.

      Nobody has any right to tell israelis where or where not they can build in their own capitol.

      Another example of respect for Christian, Arab and Palestinian, Israeli Citizens, their history, traditions and culture in the new and improved, Jewish State of Israel.

      Jews need to stop the non sense about the promised land. And even if it was true, it was promised to Hebrews not converted european jews.

      Islam was not established until 622AD. The land belonged to Israel before that time. Palestinians have no right to any land in Israel. Go back to Jordan where you came from and stop infesting other countries with your backward ways and cultures. Palestinians are a disease and thats why no other Arab nation wants anything to do with them.

      Israel would win handily any vote for the country most like Nazi Germany after South Africa dropped out of the running. Both, Nazi Germany and Israel are products of Evil.

      What?? Zionazis stoking the flames of hatred?? Again, do Zionazis do anything else BUT stir up hatred?
    • Robert  •  Seoul, South Korea  •  5 mths ago
      Boycott the Zionazi racist hate filled state of Zionazism. Go online and learn about how to avoid buying any Zionazi products. BDS and boycotts internet sites tell you how to avoid buying Zionazi products. Tell your family and friends not to buy ANYTHING from the Zionazis.

      hey, city of david is nowhere near silwan. please provide a map yahoo showing the readers where the city of david is. it is an awesome museum. israel has preserved all these historic sites for the world to see, meanwhile arabs have treated the land like dirt. and then they claim jews have no ties to the land. and they want to be taken seriously?

      arabs need to get over their "sensitivity."

      Israel will be destroyed, not by another country but because of their own Heretic Actions. Free Palestine and Keep her people safe from Zioswine.

      Only Israel would stand before the entire UN and say, "It does not matter what you say or do, we will continue building no matter what." Of course when you have the US backing you up, you can do that. Reminds me of the muffler commercials with George Foreman.

      Zionazis doing what they do best: fanning the waves of hatred and violence. The Zionazis could have chosen to sit down with the Arabs and come up with a plan that suits both sides; but no, being true to hate filled violence loving Zionazism, they chose the path that provokes hatred and violence. And you watch; all the AIPAC post hacks, like ISHY and Arkdefender and all the other AIPAC hacks will blame the Palestinians if they react to this deliberate provacation. if it had been Palestinians that suggested this centre; best rest assured all the AIPAC hacks would be condemning it.
