40. do not want answer? lets take a look
the name would be Shimon Hatzadik


Moving into East Jerusalem

shoe-horned into the slopes of Sheikh Jarah, an Arab neighborhood in East Jerusalem, is the newer Jewish enclave Shimon Hatzadik, or Simon the Righteous.

The 40 Israeli residents, guarded by a privately hired gunman, may soon have more compatriots just around the bend if the Shepherd's Hotel, a forlorn, century-old building, is demolished and replaced with 90 housing units, as planned.

The Israelis, aided by ultranationalist groups that buy up Arab properties and by the tacit support of the government, see themselves as pioneers. But Palestinians see them as settlers - and the European Union, soon to release a controversial report attacking "the construction and expansion of illegal settlements, by private entities and the Israeli government, in and around East Jerusalem" - appears to agree.
