reinventing lifta a pdf on lifta (neighboring ghost city to jerusalem).

“The village of Lifta, which lies just outside Jerusalem, has been
abandoned since the Israeli army drove out the last of its Palestinian
inhabitants in 1948. Today Lifta is more or less a ghost town.
while the former villagers live mainly in East Jerusalem and Ramallah;.
Now, however, a renovation project aims to turn Lifta into
an expensive and exclusive Jewish residential area – reinventing
its history in the process.”
