	POICA-Israel inaugurates Gilo ‘300’ terminal in Bethlehem
		This Iron Gate that came to terminate the Segregation Wall in the northern entrance of Bethlehem was closed, and is anticipated to open twice a year for religious missions, Christmas and Easter Times.
		Furthermore, the Israeli military busses coming from Jerusalem and heading to Rachel's Tomb area will access the Gilo 300 checkpoint and directly drive into the road already constructed alongside the Segregation Wall to then reach another gate constructed north of the Tomb area and guarded by the Israeli soldiers.
		See Photo 3 and Map of the route of the buses.

	Gilo & Har Choma
		Gilo, a picturesque community of over 40,000 residents, is situated on the highest point on the Southern corner of Jerusalem's borders, and sits on three hills overlooking the city.
		Ironically, the name Gilo was given to the new Jerusalem neighborhood because of its proximity to Beit Jala, which was thought to be a corruption of the biblical name Gilo and therefore the site of that city.
		Gilo was established between 1973 and 1979, with the original streets named for the different perfumes used as incense in the Temple.

		Perhaps Gilo is a manifestation of Rachel Imeinu’s wish that the “children shall return to their borders” (”v’shavu banim l’gvulam”).
		Gilo’s proximity to Bethlehem enabled members of the three synagogues and other residents to deliver weekly food packages to IDF soldiers stationed in the region during Operation Defensive Shield.
		Likewise, Gilo, whose residents come from nations around the world, are united by their love for Israel, their deep faith, and by their commitment to Torah and Chessed, helping them to cope during challenging times.

	A Reality Check for Jerusalem Settlements: The Case of Gilo
		Gilo residents even felt connected with their fellow settlers in the southern West Bank after the installation of a wide by-pass road built impressively in 1996 with two tunnels going underneath their Beit Jala neighbors.
		In 1984,when Gilo extension called Metzpe Bethlehem was underway, Mohana returned from the Bethlehem market with his father,a tailor named Salman, to find a bulldozer on its way to remove his two story stone house.
		Likewise, the 30,000 settlers of Gilo, like the 150,000 other Israeli settlers in Arab East Jerusalem, do not want to abandon their property without a suitable alternative and, while many are taking an extended vacation for the holidays, they will be back.

		The view from Gilo By Uri Bank (November 17) - All of a sudden we, the residents of Gilo, have found ourselves on the front lines of this violent stage of the Israeli-Arab conflict.
		There is a general concensus that the situation in Gilo is intolerable and that "something must be done." But the government seems to care more about not escalating the situation and not exacerbating world public opinion than it does about protecting the residents of Gilo.
		I, and my fellow members of the Residents Committee for a Safe Gilo, have come to the conclusion that the government should push back the boundary of Area A by a kilometer and a half, which is the range of light-arms fire.

	Gilo and Beit Jala - CAABU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		However, Gilo, which I have visited on many occasions, is a large illegal settlement, built on land taken from the Bethlehem area.
		The owners of the land on which Gilo is built come from Beit Jala and Beit Safafa.
		The reason both sides live "cheek by jowl" is that Gilo was built to restrict the expansion of Beit Jala, to hem it in and to form a concrete barrier between Jerusalem and the Bethlehem district.

	Gilo Under Fire
		The Jewish enclave of Gilo and the Palestinian town of Beit Jala are separated by a narrow valley, which has become like a war zone.
		Gilo residents look out across a narrow valley at the Palestinian town of Beit Jala, once considered a friendly neighbor.
		One Gilo resident - a former Israeli soldier in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war who refuses to give his name - says he comes every day to the edge of the cement blockade to watch the action.

	UJC - A Long, Productive Day for Gilo Students
		The children and staff of Jerusalem's Gilo C Elementary School are inextricably entwined in the pain of the conflict and the distress of Israel's economic situation.
		The Gilo children, along with thousands more all over Israel, are reaping the benefits of additional school hours and enrichment activities thanks to "Keeping the Children Safe," an Israel Emergency Campaign program managed by JDC and funded by UJC and the Federations of North America.
		The principal and staff of Gilo C Elementary School were well equipped to take full advantage of the funds immediately upon notification: The school participates in JDC's pilot ADAM program, which works with school staff to better enable them to deal with schoolchildren, especially children at risk.

		All characters in the Gilo alphabet are made from components of the original cartwheel pattern.
		Gilo is written along a theoretical centre line through the 'hub' of each symbol.
		Where the IPA character has a similar (but slightly different) sound to a Gilo character, then by the addition of parts of the perimeter arc to the Gilo symbol it is possible to form a new symbol and demonstrate its linkage and similarity.

	60 Minutes in Gilo
		In fact, the majority of Gilo is built on land legally purchased by Jews prior to 1948.
		In the 1948 war, Jewish lands in Gilo were captured and confiscated by the Jordanian government.
		From 1948-67, Jewish landowners did not relinquish ownership to their land in Gilo, and when Israel recaptured the land in 1967, Gilo was built -- not because of war victories, but because of longstanding legal land purchases.

	UJC - Planting Seeds Of Hope In Gilo
		Although the day was dismally gray and stormy, the spirits inside the kindergarten in Gilo Gimmel were hardly dampened.
		The Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo has borne the brunt of continued shooting and mortar fire from the Palestinian village of Beit Jala, just across the valley.
		Kindergarten teacher Adriana Yehoshua, an immigrant from Argentina who has been living in Israel since 1976 and in Gilo since 1982, said that she "worries constantly about the children's safety." After the shell hit last summer, the Israeli army sent an educational team to prepare the children for emergency procedures.

	CNN Finally Gets the Message
		Some of the land on which Gilo is built was taken from the Palestinians of Beit Jala -- Gilo is Hebrew for Jala -- but no hint of this historical background will be permitted on CNN.
		However, by censoring the word "settlement" for Gilo, CNN is perpetrating a lie.
		Gilo was illegally annexed by Israel after the 1967 war -- not just "occupied" as CNN wishes its viewers to believe -- and far from being a "neighbourhood on the outskirts of Jerusalem," it was built on land which Israel -- again illegally -- used to extend the boundaries of Jerusalem.

	FAIR MEDIA ADVISORY: Euphemisms for Israeli Settlements Confuse Coverage
		As Kifner indicated, Gilo is built on land seized by Israel after the 1967 war.
		Again, Gilo's status as an illegal settlement does not justify the Palestinian killings of civilians there, but it is central to understanding why Gilo is such a hot spot.
		For news outlets to report on Gilo simply as a Jerusalem neighborhood under attack, without explaining its legal status, is a gross distortion-- especially since the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, which has claimed so many thousands of lives, is at bottom about who should control the land.

	The shooting on Gilo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From the first days of al-Aqsa Intifada, Jerusalem's Gilo neighborhood was subjected to heavy small-arms fire from the adjacent Palestinian town of Beit Jala.
		In spite of the fact that no one killed from this shooting, the situation in which the Palestinians were firing on Jerusalem was insufferable from Israel's point of view and led to harsh reprisals against the Beit Jala homes used for staging, escalating from tank fire to helicopter gunships.
		The shooting had another layer of controversy due to the mostly Palestinian Christian residents of Beit Jala reporting that their homes were used against their will by Muslim militant groups, and claims that the strategy was designed to effect a demographic change in the area.

	BBC News \| MIDDLE EAST \| Spotlight: Why is Gilo so important?
		Just why Gilo, a quiet, middle-class, residential area, home to 40,000 inhabitants, has become a key battleground goes right to the heart of the most contentious issue of the conflict, the status of Jerusalem.
		Gilo was established in East Jerusalem, which Palestinians hope to declare as the capital of a future state.
		They say Gilo is an illegal Jewish settlement built on land expropriated from residents of Beit Jala.

		In this prosperous suburb of Bethlehem, Fischer's death had the rare power to shock a community exhausted by the nightly punishment inflicted by the Israeli tanks stationed on the next ridge, guarding the Jewish settlement of Gilo, which was built on land confiscated from Beit Jalla.
		Scores of people gathered at the spot where he was cut down, marked by a circle of stones and a few straggly bouquets of flowers.
		Two bullets pierced the wardrobe in the bedroom Fischer shared with his wife, which looks out on the apartment blocks of Gilo, and another landed in their daughters' room.

		Sigal lives on Gilo’s Rehov Ha’anafa, which has born the brunt of most of the sniper fire that Palestinian gunmen have aimed at the periphery of this southern Jerusalem neighborhood for the past two and a half months.
		This week was particularly violent, with Gilo coming under fire three times in the past four night, usually at about 7 p.m.
		In one of the attacks earlier this week, a bullet whizzed into Sigal’s kitchen and pierced the wall just behind her blender.

	CAMERA Update
		While it is true that no one has died at Gilo from gunfire, it is extremely disingenuous of Schmetzer to go out of his way to make this point, while at the same time minimizing or altogether ignoring the human and property damages that were in fact suffered there (by gunfire or otherwise).
		Moreover, contrary to the article’s claim that “no one had died at Gilo so far,” Gilo resident Amos Makhlouf, 30, was found murdered in an olive grove between Beit Jala and Gilo on Oct. 30.
		The Israelis, for their part, do not consider Gilo a settlement; it is part of the municipality of Jerusalem.
