The subtitle of AlJazeera's current feature story:
"PA offered to concede almost all of East Jerusalem, an historic concession for which Israel offered nothing in return."
East Jerusalem is not for the Palestinian Authority to give away, it was never their property [1]. This shows AlJazeera's bias in the matter. Also, when Tzipi Livni is quoted in the article, the reporter follows it with "That is the Israeli framing." -- quotes from PA spokesmen aren't followed by such comments.
[1] East Jerusalem used to be part of the British Mandate, until 1948, when the UN proposed it would become a Corpus Separatum, administered by them. The Arab League turned down the offer, Jordan invaded it instead. In 1967, Israel took control of the area. At no point in time has East Jerusalem been under rule of the Palestinian Authority.
