Jodi Rudoren, "New Apartments Will Complicate Jerusalem Issue": The "Experts" Tell Us . . .

In case you missed it, New York Times reporter Jodi Rudoren wrote two days ago in an article entitled "New Apartments Will Complicate Jerusalem Issue" (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/17/world/middleeast/in-jerusalem-jewish-apartments-in-arab-neighborhoods-complicate-issue.html?hp&pagewanted=all&_r=0):

"While most experts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have long imagined Jerusalem as ultimately being divided, with Jewish neighborhoods remaining part of Israel and Arab ones joining Palestine, these new buildings make such a plan more complicated if not impossible — which may be exactly the point."

"Experts"? Please name them.

But more to the point, what would be so terrible if Jerusalem were to be divided, and Jews were to continue to live in the eastern part of Jerusalem, controlled by the Palestinian Authority? Must Palestine be Judenfrei?

If there is ever going to be peace between Jews and Palestinians, they are going to have to learn to live together.

And yet we constantly hear the insipid reprise that Israel is "apartheid."

By the way, this is the same Jodi Rudoren who was responsible for the canard, repeated by Thomas Friedman (see: http://jgcaesarea.blogspot.co.il/2012/12/second-open-letter-to-margaret-sullivan.html), that Israel's E1 construction, would divide the West Bank in two (see also: http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=10&x_journo=603).
