	Har Homa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Har Homa (Hebrew הר חומה Har KHoma, which means "Wall Mountain", Arabic: جبل أبو غنيم, transliterated Jabal Abu Ghneim) is an Israeli settlement between Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
		Har Homa is located in East Jerusalem within the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem as expanded and effectively annexed by Israel in 1967, and has been administered by the Municipality of Jerusalem since then.
		This territory is regarded by Palestinians, the International Court of Justice, and foreign governments generally as "occupied territory",[1] and the development as an illegal settlement [2], charges which Israel categorically denies.

	Har Homa
		Building in Har Homa represents the last phase of a larger municipal housing plan for the city of Jerusalem begun in 1968.
		Contrary to Palestinian claims, Har Homa is not in "traditional Arab East Jerusalem." It is neither "Arab" (most of the land was expropriated from Jews); nor "East" (it is in southern Jerusalem).
		When Har Homa is completed, however, considerable areas of territorial continuity between the Arab neighborhoods of eastern Jerusalem and the Palestinian areas of the West Bank will remain.

		Using Har Homa to provide for the Arab "homeless" could be the only political and moral justification for developing the lonely mountain Jabal Abu Ghunaym.
		A particularly appalling example is Har Homa, where land expropriated from Umm Tuba residents will be used to construct a major new road system serving residents of Har Homa, with no access provided for the Palestinian neighborhoods.
		So will the buildings of Har Homa, a Hebrew phrase that indeed means "walled mountain." A continuous wall of stone along the southern perimeter of Jerusalem will physically and psychologically separate the Palestinians in East Jerusalem from their hinterland in the West Bank.

	Har Homa main page
		The issue of Har Homa is known to the public and the media as an issue of dispute between Palestinians and Israelis, where each side claims its right to control the area.
		What escaped from the eyes of the public and the media is the fact that the problem originated not as a result of political confrontation, but rather as a result of governmental and municipal officials' determination to develop the land without the landowners.
		And still, the country is involved in deep political and budgetary crisis, proving that government-instituted construction on Har Homa does not contribute anything to Israel's position in East Jerusalem.

	HAR HOMA: AN EDUCATION IN REALISM (Efraim Inbar) - March, 1997
		The government is right to build Har Homa in Jerusalem, for the simple reason that Israel wants to keep Jerusalem united under Israel sovereignty.
		This is a case where Israel has full, formal freedom of action, and where a large majority of Israelis can easily be mobilized in favor of construction within the municipal area of their capital.
		Har Homa could become a turning point in Israeli-Palestinian relations by projecting Israeli determination and reversing the trend of Palestinian gains without much reciprocity.

		Today Har Homa's new apartment towers and ring roads spread over the mountain like the wings of a bird poised to devour the few hundred dunums that remain.
		And together with the ongoing construction at Jerusalem's Har Homa, Maale Adumim and Givat Zeev settlements, it destroys the capacity of Palestinian East Jerusalem ever becoming "a prime metropolitan city, with real prospects for urban development and employment," says the Dutch settlement expert, Jan de Jong.
		As for the "housing crunch" that is nonsense.

		On 18 March, Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu executed the fateful decision to begin construction on Abu Ghneim mountain of the new Jewish settlement of "Har Homa" or Mount Wall.
		But Har Homa is not the only new Jewish settlement planned by this government and threatening the territorial and demographic integrity of East Jerusalem.
		Given world-wide condemnation of the Har Homa A project, Har Homa B may be constructed for Arab residents.

	The Jerusalem question
		Yet the development of Har Homa, which is incidentally tied to the construction of 3500 additional units for Palestinian residents of the city, is a project begun almost 30 years ago by Levi Eshkol's government, arguably the most dovish in Israeli history.
		Projects such as Har Homa enjoy broad support among the Israeli public and political parties, for an understandable reason.
		The delay in the project, far from being due to external factors or the Oslo peace process, was due to a legal dispute between the government and the (predominantly) Jewish owners of the land acquired for the project.

		The construction of Har Homa, and all Israeli settlements, violates international law such as the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit the movement of populations into conquered territory.
		The political significance of preventing the building of Har Homa is profound, for both Jerusalem and settlements are final status issues yet to be negotiated.
		For Israel to build a new exclusively-Jewish neighborhood on land that historically was Palestinian and whose sovereignty is subject to negotiation, is a slap in the face of the peace process.

		He was escorted to Har Homa by cabinet secretary Dan Naveh and the Jerusalem Municipality's Amos Radian, after his initial intention to go there with the Palestinian Authority Minister for Jerusalem Affairs Faisal Husseini had been abandoned.

	Victor LeVine on the Jerusalem Peace Process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Each side blames the other for the violence, and indeed, there is enough blame to go around: Netanyahu, for his willful disregard of the political consequences of the decisions about the tunnel and Har Homa, and Arafat, for deliberately encouraging violence and loosening the leash restraining the terrorists in his camp.
		Laying blame, however, is besides the point: the crux or the argument is, and has always been, about control of Jerusalem and the attempts by both sides to establish 'facts on the ground' that reinforce their respective claims on the city.
		Har Homa is only the latest of the series, part of Israel's "facts on the groung," apparently deliberately stated to challenge the Palestinians' claims and become a factor in the "final status" negotiations.
