re: #620 drcordell

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.

The problem with this is that the Green Line separates North, East, and South Jerusalem, as well as the Old City.

You are absolutely right in that this is how “East Jerusalem” gets used — to mean the “other side of the Green Line” but it is very misleading as well.
