38. Oh gee is that what this means
The time has come to stun the world while safeguarding our real Jerusalem; that is, the Old City and its immediate vicinity. There is no need for more; in fact, more is less. Once we put an end to the social benefits, we’ll see the population growth rate, which had proven very beneficial for Palestinians, slow down as well.

so East Jerusalem and the Old City are 2 completely different things is that what your saying?

East Jerusalem refers to the parts of Jerusalem captured by Jordan in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and then taken by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War. It includes Jerusalem's Old City and some of the holiest sites of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, such as the Temple Mount, Western Wall, Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The term "East Jerusalem" may refer to either the area under Jordanian rule between 1949 and 1967 which was incorporated into the municipality of Jerusalem after 1967, covering some 70 km2 (27 sq mi), or the territory of the pre-1967 Jordanian municipality, covering 6.4 km2 (2 sq mi).
