JERUSALEMIn defiance of President

Obama's demands that Israel cease building in

sections of Jerusalem and the West Bank, New

York state assemblyman Dov Hikind laid the

cornerstone for the second phase of a new

Jewish construction project in the Nof Tzion

neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem..

Together with Knesset Member Danny Danon, a

member of Prime Minister Benjamin

Netanyahu's Likud party, Hikind spoke with

reporters about the Jewish right to build in

Israel's capital city.

Hikind, a Democrat, asserted banning Jews from

building in neighborhoods was segregation. He

expressed wonder that an African-Americanpresident would endorse such a policy in the

21st century.

Speaking with the media, Hikind blamed Obama

for stalling the peace process. According to the

assemblyman, Palestinian Authority President

Mahmoud Abbas has latched onto Obama's calls

for a settlement freeze as an excuse not to

negotiate with Israel.

According to Hikind, a Jew cannot even build a

bathroom in Jerusalem without international

condemnation.

several hundred housing units in Jerusalem's

Gilo neighborhood to the chagrin of the

American administration. Danon told WND that

Gilo, a neighborhood of 40,000 Jews within the

municipal boundaries of Jerusalem, is

completely within the Israeli consensus, stating

that even Tzipi Livni, opposition leader of the

Kadima party, was behind the expansion.

Hikind was in Israel leading a solidarity mission

of 50 American Jews. During the past week the

group met with leaders of Israel's settlement

enterprise and national camp. The purpose of the

mission was to strengthen Israeli sovereignty

over the West Bank and Jerusalem by acquiring

property in the disputed areas. Hikind himself

expressed interest in buying an apartment in NofTzion.

A representative of the Ateret Kohanim

organization, which reclaims Jewish land in

Jerusalem, accompanied the group to Nof Tzion,

explaining the history of the disputed areas.

The Americans were amazed to learn that such

predominantly Arab neighborhoods in

Jerusalem as Silwan were historically Jewish.

Silwan was a Yemenite Jewish community until

it was evacuated and turned over to Arabs by the

British, following Arab pogroms in the late

1930s.

During the cornerstone laying and subsequent

press conference, a small group ofdemonstrators from the extremist Peace Now

organization stood nearby calling for the



4/4


division of Jerusalem. One demonstrator, a Jew

from Britain, held a sign which stated, "Hikind

you're a shame to your party."

As Hikind attempted to leave, he was accosted

by the demonstrator. The assemblyman gave the

young man his telephone number, offering to

take him out to dinner to speak about the issuesin a less charged setting.
