Hi Thameen Darby,

Congratulations. Great that Walid Khalidi's book "All that Remains" can now be found at Google Earth.

I won't go into heated discussion now, but just give some facts:

Many villages are hard to find back, but around Jerusalem there are a few villages of which the houses are still standing. The placemarks are a little bit out of place:

Lifta might once have extended up to where your placemark is, but the leftovers are only visibly (very clearly now in relative high resolution) 300 meters north-north east, on the slopes and down into the valley. The Israeli government has all kinds of plans there, like turning it into an artist's village (because of the picturesque Arab dwellings..), but untill now the houses just keep standing, with or without their roofs. In one of the cellars I found the leftovers of a horse, (probably killed in 1948?). Some houses are more or less inhabited by squatters who took nothing more than a sleeping bag; a few on top are renovated.
Lifta is surrounded by highways now, above. And you can see another road under construction down in the valley.

Houses of Deir Yassin, where a massacre took place in 1948, are visible 650 meters north - northeast of your placemark, between the apartment buildings of the jewish religious neighbourhood Har Nof. They are in use by a psychiatric hospital now.

Al Maliha is located 1200 meters to the north of your placemark. It's inhabited now by Jews. I noticed an Israeli flag at one of the houses. Mosque and minaret seem intact; no idea what their use is now. The neirby shopping mall is called "Malcha", as is the brandnew train station.

I added placemarks with the right location. I'll check other places that I once managed to visit.

Hanaq
