First the good news from Gilo. Because of the calm situation, the government is removing a concrete barrier that protected the southern Jerusalem neighborhood from Palestinian gunfire coming from nearby Beit Jalah.
The bad news? A few news agencies — Reuters, BBC and The Independent all label Gilo as a "settlement;" AFP describes Gilo as "a Jewish neighbourhood in occupied east Jerusalem."
Last year, we responded to a spate of similar news reports: Gilo In Perspective.
