Palestinian Christian landowner Johnny Atik stands next to a dead olive tree in front of Israel's separation fence as a part of his family's confiscated land and the Jewish settlement of Har Homa are seen in the background from the West Bank town of Bethlehem, Sunday, Jan. 23, 2005. Israel has quietly seized large tracts of Jerusalem land owned by Palestinian residents of the West Bank, lawyers of the landowners said. Atik said Sunday that he lost eight acres of olive groves within Jerusalem's municipal boundaries as a result of the new policy. The land is just 100 meters (yards) away from his home, on the other side of an electronic fence and patrol road that are part of the separation barrier. (AP Photo/Kevin Frayer)
