More scope 

East Jerusalem contains much more than the Old City. It also includes the American colony, site of the U.S. Consulate, and that whole "downtown" shopping area, including the Rockefeller Museum. It offends my Jewish sensibilities when you imply that half the Old City really belongs to Jordan. They took it from us, and now they say it was always theirs?  7 July 2005 18:10 (UTC)

 "They took it from us"?  Is this some obscure usage of "they" which can simultaneously refer to Romans and Jordanians as the same entity, while lumping together a 2000-year-old theocratic monarchy with a republic founded by atheist nationalists as "us"?  Anyway, if you want to expand on the American colony or the shopping area, I'm sure more information on other East Jerusalem neighborhoods would be a welcome addition. -  7 July 2005 18:49 (UTC)
