The document summarizes the expansion of the Israeli settlement of Anatot over Palestinian private lands from 1997 to 2011. Originally 195 dunams were trapped within the settlement boundaries in 1997. The gate was moved 720 meters west in 2002, trapping another 460 dunams and limiting Palestinian landowner access. As access became restricted, formerly cultivated Palestinian lands around the settlement were gradually abandoned. In 2011, when a Palestinian landowner brought peace activists to his land in solidarity, settlers from Anatot became angry.
