Have any of the participants here ever been to jerusalem? there are three jerusalems. the new jerusalem is an israeli city, built by israelis in the past few decades, inhabited by israelis (jewish and arab). on the other hand, east jerusalem is as palestinian as harlem is african-american. israelis don't go there. and the old city; which the jordanian administration 1947-1968 handled with a policy of judenrein compared to the israeils' pretty openhanded policy since.
