| Summary/Abstract |
One outcome of the Jewish–Arab conflict at the time of the British Mandate was the Arab refugee problem. It usually accompanied any escalation in hostilities and was evident at foci of the friction between Arabs and Jews. Reprisals by the authorities against the Arab population was an additional cause. At the time of the Arab Revolt the refugee issue assumed for the first time significant proportions as a result of destructive actions by the British army, the greatest being the home demolition operations unleashed in Jaffa. As a result many families became refugees inside and outside their city. For the first time in the Mandate period the British government was obliged to contend with the problem of Arab refugees that it itself had created, and resolve it. The article aims to shed light on a unique operation by the Mandatory government intended to establish a locality to house Arab refugees, which was implemented and completed in the Mandate period. The article shows that for the authorities the establishment of a quarter for refugees was the required and most appropriate solution to the problem that had arisen.

| Summary/Abstract |
When we talk about Israeli settlement activity in East Jerusalem, we usually mean an activity of one of two types: the large neighborhoods initiated after 1967 by the Israeli government and built on land unilaterally annexed to Jerusalem and expropriated for public needs - i.e., Ramot, Gilo, Pisgat Ze'ev, Har Homa and French Hill. These neighborhoods were set up so that Jewish settlements would encircle East Jerusalem, thus isolating it and separating it from the West Bank, so that East Jerusalem could not serve as the capital of a future Palestinian state. Starting in 1967, successive Israeli governments have undertaken the planning and construction of some 50,000 residential units in these neighborhoods and, today, more than 190,000 Israelis live in them.

| Summary/Abstract |
It's been weeks since Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel published his "Jerusalem" open letter addressing US President Obama in full-page adverts in the influential and globally read American newspapers: The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The International Herald Tribune. Some may wonder why it took me all this time to write a response to the content and purpose of that letter. Many of my friends in London, Washington, New York, Berlin, and even Sydney in Australia, who knew I am ? Jerusalemite, born and raised as a boy who learned the history and meaning of every single stone in the Old City, urged me to respond. The same people were also puzzled by Wiesel's motives in embarking on an expensive advertising campaign when he had dinner with the American president one or two nights before and had conveyed his thoughts and made his request first hand in a face-to-face encounter and, as he claimed, got the impression that President Obama "respected his advice to postpone discussions on Jerusalem" until the end of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 1989, The Jerusalem Citadel (or Tower of David) was inaugurated as the Museum of the History of Jerusalem. The museum’s establishment stretched over two decades, highlighting the different dilemmas that were tied to the State of Israel’s attitude towards Jerusalem generally and the Old City in particular. The museum displayed Jerusalem using a historical-chronological approach, avoiding adapting it to the city’s multicultural, vibrant, diverse, and multihued society after the Six-Day War. This spared and precluded the possibility of focusing on the city’s many dilemmas, its complex population and the city’s many political questions and schisms following 1967.

In 2005, I published an article in the Palestine Israel journal (Vol-12, No-1) on the new master plan for Jerusalem which had just got underway: it contained my strong reservations about the guidelines which appeared in the position papers that the Jerusalem municipality had presented.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article problematises international heritage interventions in divided cities through exploring UNESCO's role in Jerusalem's Old City. It examines the tension between universal heritage values and protocols and nationalist agendas which often involve politicised archaeological responses. Drawing on comparative case studies of UNESCO-affiliated projects in Fez and Aleppo, and in the violently divided cities and regions of Mostar and Kosovo, it assesses future challenges and possibilities facing UNESCO in Jerusalem. While the article confirms an increased need for an international arbitrator and protector for the city's sacred sites and divided cultural heritage, it also underscores the limitations of UNESCO's legal remit and the political sensitivities which hinder its praxis.

| Summary/Abstract |
The aim of this article is to describe the various actors who intervene in the renovation (and therefore relocation) projects that have been proliferating in Chinese cities for several years. The term "relocation" is a translation of the French term "délogement," which was coined by the author to refer to the specific process that brings together urban renovation, destruction of housing, and displacement of occupants in China today. Based on a field study conducted in Shanghai between 2003 and 2008, this paper intends to reveal the diversity of actors involved in such projects and the varied relationships they maintain with the official sphere, which directly influences the course of negotiations regarding compensation and rehousing.
