Palestinia­ns protest new Jewish colony

-

2003 - Israeli and Palestinia­n protesters scuffled with riot police as a bulldozer attempted to push ahead with constructi­on of a Jewish colony in an area of occupied Jerusalem claimed by Palestinia­ns. An Israeli developer broke ground on the new colony in east Jerusalem earlier this week. The move prompted criticism from American and Palestinia­n officials, who said the project violates the US-backed road-map peace plan.
