		POICA-Betar Illit settlement Expansion and The Fate of Wadi Fukin Village

	CNN - Israel expanding settlements amid Palestinian anger - February 9, 1998
		BETAR ILLIT, West Bank (CNN) -- While the world's attention is focused on the looming crisis over Iraq, Palestinians say the Israeli government has seized the moment to annex Palestinian lands and expand Jewish settlements, often without compensation.
		In one such case near the Arab village of Nahalin, armed Israeli soldiers guarded workmen using bulldozers and steam shovels to excavate foundations for buildings to be added to the Jewish settlement of Betar Illit.
		About 15,000 Orthodox Jews live in Betar Illit now, but the settlement is projected to house 60,000.

	Betar (fortress) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Betar was the last standing Jewish fortress in the Bar Kochba revolt of the 2nd century CE, destroyed by the Roman army on Tisha B'av.
		The site of historic Betar (also spelled Beitar or Bethar), next to the modern Palestinian village of Battir southwest of Jerusalem, was known as Khirbet al-Yahudi, Arabic for "the Jew's ruins".
		The destruction of Betar put an end to the last great revolt against Rome, and effectively quashed any Jewish dreams of freedom.

		After the ultra-Orthodox city of Betar Illit was built, Modi'in Illit was established by private entrepreneurs who were affiliated with the Lithuanian wing of Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community and who purchased the land from Arabs.
		Pindros is quick to point out on a map Betar Illit's Hill 2, the new neighborhood that was built beyond the farmlands of nearby Arab villages and which in effect surrounds them.
		Even today, Betar Illit's residents are uncomfortable with Rabbi Schach's opposition to the creation of settlements beyond the Green Line on the grounds that they pose the danger of "trying the patience of the gentiles" (namely, the Americans).

		The IDF made a 'border adjustment.' But the intention, it appears to Palestinians, is to include the town of Betar Illit within Israel proper.
		On Monday, December 11, businessmen and workers at the Betar Forest commercial center were shocked to see bulldozers and trucks dismantling the military base and IDF post located right next to the Green Line, or more precisely, east of it inside the West Bank.
		As the post was being dismantled, some residents of the ultra-Orthodox town of Betar (located south-east of the commercial center) hovered around the soldiers patrolling and those taking apart the base, encouraged them, hugged the soldiers and welcomed the moving of the post.
