From atop the hillside, the crux of
Issawiya’s problems becomes evident, its decisive location. Circling around you
see the Israeli military base, the tower of Hebrew University, the Jewish
settlement of French Hill, and an Israeli military detention center. Next to
the detention center is the Ring Road, vast land appropriated from Issawiya to
build the E-1 settlement bloc, and in the distance, the imposing Jewish
settlement of Ma’ale Adummim. In the middle of all this, cramped and
constricted, lies Issawiya.
