To gauge the takeover all you need to do is climb the metal stairs behind the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and walk on the roofs surrounding the church’s. Most of the houses you see — some newly built with licenses obtained from the very municipality that denies them to Palestinians — are inhabited by Israeli Jews or house Jewish religious schools. Box-like prefab guard rooms are ubiquitous; there are surveillance cameras and Israeli flags at every corner. Aside from us, the only pedestrians walking on these roofs on this unseasonably hot Sunday were Israeli Jews in religious garb.
