re: #605 Alouette

The 1949 armistice line represents the point at which Israel and the Jordanian Army agreed to a cease fire. It is not a cast in stone international border and it does not represent a delineation of “Palestinian owned land” since no Palestinians own that land.

Nobody is saying the borders are cast in stone or legal. The point is, the border between “East” and “West” Jerusalem is the Green Line. When the term “East Jerusalem” is used, it means East of the Green line. Use of the term does not speak to the legitimacy or illegitimacy of Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem.
