Israeli leaders like to claim that Jerusalem is a unified city, but this is far from the truth. For decades now, Jewish Israelis living in W. Jerusalem have rarely ventured into the majority-Palestinian areas of E. Jerusalem, which has been occupied by Israel since 1967. Many residents of W. Jerusalem (which was the urban areas that in 1947-48 was the most fully ethnically cleansed of Palestinians of any inside Israel) know little of the lives and concerns of Palestinian Jerusalemites. On December 7, 2014 a group of peace activists from W. Jerusalem invited some E. Jerusalemites to come to a meeting to tell their stories directly. The turnout was huge! Mori Rothman-Zecher was there to livetweet it. — Helena Cobban ● chirpstory/li/242536
