	Creeping annexation of the West Bank
		Ma'aleh Adumim was established on lands taken from Palestinians, from the villages of Abu Dis, Al Izriyyeh, Al Issawiyyeh, Al Tur and Anata.
		But to fully appreciate the cumulative, staggering consequences that Ma'aleh Adumim and the other settlements have had on the Palestinians, one cannot simply count those directly affected, those whose land was confiscated or house demolished for the construction of this or that settlement or by-pass road.
		The case of Ma'aleh Adumim also illustrates the extent to which Jewish settlements, whilst physically situated in occupied territories and in theory subject to the same military rule imposed on Palestinians, have in practice become part and parcel of Israel.

		He argues that the Palestinian refusal to accept the obvious, that large settlement blocs near the border, such as Maale Adumim, are going to remain in Israeli hands are part of a larger impediment to peace.
		This is why a partial bureaucratic approval of an old construction plan in the city of Maale Adumim, adjacent to Jerusalem, should not be perceived as a danger to the peace process.
		Maale Adumim is usually called a "settlement." But as a description of the place, the word is absurd, because it conjures up an image of a few huts on an undeveloped bit of land.

		The ongoing expansion of Ma'ale Adumim, which the biggest settlement in the West Bank (about 30,000 people), is toward the east, in the direction of another settlement, the Mishor Adumim industrial park.
		The expansion of Ma'ale Adumim, as with the expansion of any other settlement, is a unilateral act which undermines and jeopardizes efforts to resume negotiations which are based on the principal of two states living side by side with peace and security.
		Rabin refrained from implementing any construction in the E-1 area between Ma'ale Adumim and Jerusalem, in all likelihood due to a tacit understanding with the U.S. Administration that the fate of the E-1 area would be determined in the future within the framework of the peace process.

		Maale Adumim was in the news during the meeting between Prime Minister Sharon and President Bush at his Texas ranch on April 11.
		The routing of this segment of the separation barrier on West Bank land prejudges the future border, and additionally, by blocking contiguity of East Jerusalem with Palestinian population centers in the West Bank, threatens the viability of a future state of Palestine.
