| contents | Jerusalem and the border, evolutive aspects Irene Salenson Demografía frontier Jerusalem separation fence municipal territory international city What meaning does the term border take on referring to a city? The cityof Jerusalem is an interesting case study because with it the whole polysemy ofthe word border shows up, on every geographical scale. Since the start of the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000, support for the idea of a physical barrier between Israeland the Palestinian territories has grown tremendously among Israelis. OnJerusalem´s external boundary, this barrier takes the form of an eight-metershigh-wall. The Israeli government does not admit that the barriers sole purposewas the prevention of terrorist incursions. A policy of ethnic separation wasclearly intended, the argument being that co-existence between Israelis andPalestinians had been a failure. How did the Holy city reach this pessimisticpoint, considering that the idea of an international city was proposed twice inthe first half of the twentieth century, when its inhabitants had already suffereda separation between 1948 and 1967, and when a peace process had beeninitiated in 1994? Will this barrier become the new border between Israel andPalestine, between West and East Jerusalem? 2005 artículo científico 0187-6961 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=53011602 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=530 Estudios Fronterizos application/pdf Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Estudios Fronterizos (México) Num.11 Vol.6 |
