re: #530 drcordell

Look man, I don’t know what else to tell you. You’re telling me that the Jpost and Haaretz are both incorrectly labeling the dispute as over “East Jerusalem”? As well as the Washington Post?

It’s all fucking semantics either way. Call it North Jerusalem, West Jerusalem, whatever the fuck you want to call it. The point is, increased Jewish-only settlements in EastWestNorth Jerusalem are the point of contention between the U.S. and Israel.

You don’t understand, do you. North Jerusalem is not even disputed territory. It would be like China telling you you couldn’t build a tree fort in your back yard.
