In a letter in the International Herald Tribune, Sidra DeKoven Ezrahi defies Elie Wiesel "to find three Muslim families in all of West Jerusalem." The Jerusalem resident thereby erases from existence nearly 4,000 Muslims, including her neighbors.
Ha'aretz veteran writer Akiva Eldar is befuddled on Jerusalem, falsely claiming that West Bank Muslims and Christians cannot visit the holy sites and that only east Jerusalem women and children may enter the Temple Mount.

AP's ahistorical claim that conflict over eastern Jerusalem began only when Israel captured the area from Jordan in 1967 has yet to be corrected. In fact, the conflict raged in 1948, and even earlier. 
James Carroll portrays the evictions of Palestinian famillies in Jerusalem as evidence of creeping annexation by Israel ignoring the fact that they failed to pay their rent.
