East Side Story

I read the latest U.N. missive re Israel and East Jerusalem.

I stare intently at this map.
I wonder where Israel plans to build.
Where is Ramat Shlomo?
Is it in the Green Zone, which (for decades) has been set aside for environmental and recreational purposes?
Is it in the Green Zone, where (for decades) Palestinian construction has been denied?
Is it in the Green Zone, where (for decades) Palestinian homes have been torn down?

Click on the map to enlarge.

What do the Palestinians say - in print?
What do the Israelis say - in print?

I don't understand ...
