Construction Taking Over

This article investigates Israel's infrastructure plan and how it affects the life of Palestinians. The government has approved construction for a motor-way that is interferes with the Beit Safafa village. The Palestinians see the approved construction project as a signal to them not being accepted. A public official, who in fact is Jewish, believes that Israel would never disrupt a Jewish community with these projects. There have been protests, vandalism, and other showcases of disagreement.
