Abu Dis is an Arab village situated in the shadows of Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives. During the summer of 2002, the Israeli government build a kilometer-long wall through the center of Abu Dis in order to block the movement of terrorists. The wall split the village in two and created a new border. A section of Abu Dis became Israeli territory as it was annexed to Jerusalem by the Israeli government. Many Palestinians continue to live in that part of the village.  CM
