Question about East JerusalemReader comment on item: What If: Fifty Years After the Six-Day War Submitted by William (United States), Jun 14, 2017 at 11:43 I learned a few things from this statement such as the offer of citizenship to Jerusalem's Palestinian population. I need clarification about current Jewish and Palestinian demography in East Jerusalem. The author states "these led to a long-term demographic and housing competition that Palestinians are winning, jeopardizing the Jewish nature of the Jews' historic capital." I thought that there is now housing for tens of thousands of Israelis in East Jerusalem. Are the Palestinians really winning the housing competition?

Jews, in contrast, must endure a long & cumbersome permission process. Reader comments (15) on this item
