Two Jerusalems Myth

Labels:
There simply isn't anything called East Jerusalem. The city has always had Jewish people living throughout. Even when the Jews in a specific area were lower then 50% of the population gerrymandered for arguments sake, the Muslims were not any greater a proportion because there were Christians there as well.
In 1880, Jews constituted 52 percent of the Old City population in East Jerusalem and were still inhabiting 42 percent of the Old City in 1914. In 1948, there were 100,000 Jews in Jerusalem, with 65,000 Arabs. A joint Jordanian-Israeli census reported that 67.7 percent of the city's population in 1961 was Jewish. A 1967 aerial photo reveals the truth about the area called 'East Jerusalem': it was no more than an overcrowded walled city with a few scattered neighborhoods surrounded by villages.
