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.

Exactly. That is all I am saying. I used the term “East Jerusalem” to refer to the controversy over increased Israeli settlements. Just as the term is used by all of the journalists who cover the diplomatic relations between Israel in the U.S. And by the U.S. Dept. of State. And by Netanyahu’s staff itself.
