If the "Israeli experiment" failed it is because of Leftist sabotage. There were no "50 years of trying": since 1992 (25 of the 50 years), the Left has done everything they could to encourage PLO takeover of Jerusalem and prevent Jewish growth. Just look at the methods used against Jews who want to legally purchase homes in East Jerusalem and the total lack of enforcement to prevent Arab land grabs.

but definitely not Israel. The palestinian arabs are not interested and unable to make peace with Israel. Their political leaders are terroriststs and corrupt.

At the end of the day, there has to be cooperation in and about Jerusalem. Israel, the PA, UN and so on have to get together. The biggest challenge is how to cooperate regarding security and stability, to find proper and sustainable arrangements. Israel should take the initiative and invite the world to make Jerusalem the city of peace. After all, this town was sleepy, boring and no one really cared, for centuries. We brought it back to life, and all of a sudden it became an extremely important issue for people around the world. Therefore, it is also up to us to present a new and peaceful order - that would be the true meaning of the words: "...for out of Zion shall the Torah come forth."

There is a difference between equal access and equal outcomes . People are different. Lastly let's not forget that while Druze and Circassians are loyal Palestinians aren't .

the problems that Jerusalem faces are not much different from those of any multi-ethnic city, especially when foreign actors are actively instigating and supporting ethnic strife. the moron-author should consider whether he thinks that the situation on June 4, 1967 (a divided city, barbed wire, sniper fire on the Jews; total Jewish exclusion from the Temple Mount, the Kotel, the Jewish Quarter, Shiloach, the Mt of Olives, etc., etc.) was better; he might but no thoughtful and intelligent observer would. JEWISH CONTROL OF JERUSALEM FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL PEOPLES, IN A WAY THAT IS UNIQUE IN THE HISTORY OF THE CITY, IS NOT AN "EXPERIMENT." anyone who puts the matter in such infantile terms and declares the experiment a failure is a moron, a fool, an ignoramous...

Israel will be best served if Arab neighborhoods around Jerusalem revert back to PA jurisdiction: Shuafat, Isawiyah, Abu Dis, etc. Their residents should not belong to Jerusalem and the PA should take responsibility for them.

in 48 hours from Gaza border.

obstacles that caused it to fail.

Not everyone born in Jerusalem is born equal. The irony is that a recent (Jewish) American immigrant living in East Jerusalem has more rights and more municipal support than an Arab born in East Jerusalem after 1967 or 2007 (and after several generations). So the municipality and state government is openly discriminating and systematically against people born in its own jurisdiction: not so democratic, eh? Yeah, Jerusalem is a failure but no one will retreat because their ego is too much important.

If indeed this is so it is because of the constant brainwashing of the likes of London and his left wing self hating Jewish neurotics that controlled the media until now (no longer ) that brainwashed millions into believed Jerusalem was not important to them . As a result the Israeli public neglected the city as did most politicians especially the right allowed tens of thousands of Arabs to migrate from Hebron and elsewhere corrupt officials sold them ID's . But basically London and his ilk would love to see nothing more than the total destruction of the Jewish homeland . People like London and others should have to take a psychometric test before being handed microphones to infect the general public with their illness.

London and his Ilk Kirchenbaum Ben Yemini etc etc etc are the last of the aging left loudmouths as a columnist recently said of them "leave them alone and let this minority group age in peace" Have mercy on them

Jerusalem is full of aliens, living in the city. Arab who migrated to the city as illegal workers. They don't have Israeli citizenship and didn't even want to take it, as their purpose is to destroy the State of Israel. Illegal migrants should be expelled and so the problem is resolved

an option not tried

Honestly, has this article anything else buta provocative headline? Sometime it's worth spending some seconds to think over a matter before writing nonsense. SCNR

You misunderstood. According to reality, Jerusalem will soon be more than half haredi and much less than half secular and Arabs almost completely out.

London never fails us. He can always be counted on to insult human intelligence. Just like his fellow leading leftist "intellectuals", who have never been correct on a major issue.

It's quite sad that writers such as yourselves can not see the forest through the trees. Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital for 3000 years. It was given to you by GOD. It is at the center of GOD's plan concerning the redemption of mankind. Yet writers like you are resigned to believe that it is inevitible that it will be a split city. Surely the city will and has become a burdensome stone that will drag the rest of the world into judgement for it's offenses against GOD and his people. A people who have time after time turned from HIM. But, for HIS sake and the promises HE made you will see HIM deliver you again. Unfortunately there is much more hardship coming before writers like you will see HIS deliverence. The time of Jacob's Trouble is upon you, yet GOD will show HIMSELF strong through the coming conflicts. Please never resign to the idea that Jerusalem is anything but Jewish. Shalom

Because there is a growing number of Pakistanis in these cities?! The rule of law remains and that is Israeli. Go offer up other people's capitals better yet keep your opinion to yourself.
