(IsraelNN.com) Some 100 posters were hung over the night throughout Jerusalem intimating that Peace Now’s activities could lead to the destruction of Jerusalem’s Gilo neighborhood (population 40,000).

Activists of the Im Tirtzu (If You Will It) organization posted the stark black and red signs, which read, “Evacuate Gilo Now." with the word ‘now’ appearing in the same red font as in the Peace Now logo. "Peace Now is a problem for all of us - at this rate, we will all end up living in caravillot,” it read, referring to the cheap, mobile home-like pre-fab houses in which thousands of expelled Gush Katif residents continue to live, 4.5 years after their expulsion from Gush Katif and northern Samaria.

One activist hanging the signs explained: “We’re doing this so that all Jerusalem will know who’s to blame for the deterioration of Jerusalem’s status in the international arena and for the claims against Israeli sovereignty in our own capital. All of Jerusalem must know that what’s happening now with the United States did not occur by chance; there are some very good friends of Peace Now in the White House, such as Rahm Emanuel. What’s happening now is a direct result of how we closed our eyes to the fact that these left-wing organizations receive millions of dollars in funding from foreign governments – organizations such as Peace Now, Yesh Gvul, Breaking the Silence, Peace Bloc, etc. The time has come to put an end to it.”

The United States, Great Britain, China and other countries have come out against a municipal Jerusalem plan to build 900 apartments in the southern Jerusalem suburb. France, however, has partly taken Israel’s side, with French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner saying on Wednesday that while it opposes the new buildings at this point, the new construction starts are not an obstacle to peace.

Jerusalem City Councilman Yakir Segev, who holds the council's "eastern Jerusalem" portfolio, has blamed some of his left-wing fellow councilmen, whom he did not name, for leaking word of the construction plans in Gilo to the international media.
