In this undated aerial photo made available by 'Peace Now' Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2006, the West Bank Jewish settlement of Maaleh Adumim is seen on the outskirts of Jerusalem with the area in red showing what the group says is 86 percent of the community's land that is built on private Palestinian property.
