Editing Pisgat Ze'ev (section)

===Modern era===
In the 1930s, plots of land were purchased near [[Hizme]] by European Jews for the establishment of a Jewish farming cooperative, Havatzelet Binyamin. Most of the landowners died in the [[Holocaust]]. The land was later expropriated along with Palestinian land to build Pisgat Ze'ev.<ref name= "HzPZ">[http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/much-of-pisgat-ze-ev-built-on-land-bought-by-jews-who-died-in-the-holocaust-1.422675 Much of Pisgat Ze'ev built on land bought by Jews who died in the Holocaust], ''[[Haaretz]]''</ref>

Pisgat Ze'ev was established in 1982 on land [[Jerusalem Law|annexed to Israel]] after the 1967 [[Six-Day War]] as one of the city's five [[Ring Neighborhoods, Jerusalem|Ring Neighborhoods]], meant to create a contiguous Jewish link with [[Neve Yaakov]] in the city's north, which had been isolated from other Jewish areas. The original name proposal was "Pisgat Tal," based on the Arabic name of the hilltop where construction was to begin, ''Ras at-Tawill'', but the final choice was Pisgat Ze'ev, after the [[Revisionist Zionism|Revisionist Zionist]] leader, [[Ze'ev Jabotinsky]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jerusalem.muni.il/jer_sys/picture/atarim/site_form_atar_eng.asp?site_id=2277&pic_cat=4&icon_cat=6&york_cat=9&type_id=197 |title=Jerusalem Neighborhoods: Pisgat Ze'ev |access-date=2010-03-30 |date=2009-07-13 |publisher=Jerusalem Municipality |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110617014150/http://www.jerusalem.muni.il/jer_sys/picture/atarim/site_form_atar_eng.asp?site_id=2277&pic_cat=4&icon_cat=6&york_cat=9&type_id=197 |archive-date=2011-06-17 }}</ref>

According to [[Applied Research Institute–Jerusalem|ARIJ]], Israel [[Land expropriation in the West Bank|confiscated]] land from several surrounding [[Palestinians|Palestinian]] communities in order to construct Pisgat Ze'ev:

In May 2003, a public bus leaving the Pisgat Ze'ev terminus was blown up by a Palestinian [[suicide bomber]]. Seven people were killed in the attack and dozens were wounded. The police said the bomber boarded the bus disguised as a religious Jew, wearing a [[kippa]] and a [[tallit|prayer shawl]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/nightmare-images-from-a-jerusalem-commuters-bus-538717.html |title=Nightmare images from a Jerusalem commuter bus |last=Silver |first=Eric |access-date=2010-03-30 |date=2003-05-19 |work=[[The Independent]]}}</ref> One of the victims was a resident of the Shuafat refugee camp, on his way to work at the [[Hadassah Medical Center]] in [[Ein Kerem]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jweekly.com/article/full/19918/rich-poor-arab-jew-terror-kills-without-prejudice/ |title=Rich, poor, Arab, Jew&nbsp;— Terror kills without prejudice |last=Sedan |first=Gil |access-date=2010-03-30 |date=2003-05-23 |publisher=Jweekly.com}}</ref>
