> artists are invited to entertain the Jahalin children.

problems
> from living in corrugated tin shacks on an exposed hilltop, less than 500
> meters from the Jerusalem municipal garbage dump. (These are the location
and

which
> its soldiers and police forcibly removed them several years ago, when
their

prison

in the

refusal

> The father of a 4 yearold, Gal works at a public relations agency. He
comes

having

972.3.5235410.

> Also sentenced to a similar term was another signatory, O.M. (he has asked
to

> The two men are the first of the signatories to be disciplined since
publication

abandoned its

increase in
