This do-it-yourself tour guide to Jerusalem will provide intrepid travelers with a comprehensive overview, on the ground, of the political geography of Jerusalem, and it's historical underpinnings. Fully illustrated, this guide will help the independent tourist (or Israeli) learn more about the reality of the Occupation of East Jerusalem. Includes bus information, and helpful cultural tips for those venturing into Palestinian neighborhoods alone. This book is the work of two young Italians who spent a few months in Jerusalem volunteering with the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions. 
During January and early February ICAHD activists helped rebuild a bridge for the village of Ramadin in the South Hebron Hills. The bridge had been destroyed by the Israeli military as part of their ongoing campaign to clear the local Bedouin from the area which is close to the Separation Barrier and the checkpoint exiting the West Bank to Be'er Sheva. 
On February 2nd, ICAHD volunteers, together with activists from New Profile, helped rebuild two homes in the village of Shukba that had been demolished by the Israeli Authorities. The village is situated in the Central West Bank east of the Modi'in Illit settlement. Over forty people from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem participated in the one-day action, spending the day mixing cement, hauling cinder blocks, and learning how to plaster walls from the Palestinian workers.
There are many (even in my government) who are encouraging a situation to develop in which a fledgling Palestinian state will not be sovereign or viable because of continued developments on the ground, especially in Jerusalem and Gaza. The siege of Gaza is part of this policy. A policy of divide and rule. But there can be no peace without a viable human and economic society in Gaza, integrally linked to the West Bank.
