ISRAEL
The Territorial Imperative

<body>
<p> Some 50,000 Muslims, 7,000 Christians and 4,000 Jews are
ensconced in separate areas of Jerusalem's walled Old City. Two
weeks ago, the fragile demographic arrangements were shattered
when 150 Jewish radicals moved into St. John's Hospice, a
four-building complex in the city's Christian Quarter owned by
the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate. Church officials insist the
move was illegal. Both sides faced off in the courts and on the
streets as rioting crowds disrupted the Easter, Passover and
Ramadan holidays.
</p>
<p> Last week the Israeli Supreme Court delayed by one week the
government decision to evict the Jewish group, pending further
deliberation by the court. The decision was likely to keep a
sensitive issue simmering, since the Old City is part of
territory seized by Israel during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and
is just one example of a surge in Jewish settlement beyond
Israel's 1967 borders.
