Why should Jerusalem be partitioned?
What is now the modern state of Israel occupies over seventy per cent of what had previously been regarded as Palestine, and includes almost all the rich coastal areas. Both the Israelis and Palestinians have strong religious, emotional and territorial ties to the city of Jerusalem. One of the most important reasons for partitioning Jerusalem on the basis of the United Nations Green Line, is that without this there can never be a lasting peace in Israel and Palestine. The only other option that could conceivably achieve long-term peace in the Middle East is a unitary state for Jews and Palestinians on an equal basis. So, unless Israel wishes to endure centuries of hatred and fighting, it eventually has no option other than to concede East Jerusalem to the proposed state of Palestine.

In 1980, the Jerusalem Law made the entire unified city of Jerusalem the Israeli capital and set out the municipal boundaries of the united city.

What do people do at Golgotha today?
Today Golgotha is a Muslim graveyard. Almost nobody visits it, simply because it is not very well known. Every few months a new grave is built there and a procession of people hold a funeral there.
On the website (See Related Link) you can see the side of Golgotha which is not a graveyard. There is also a picture of the side of Golgotha where the graves are, but for the sake of knowing how it looked at the time of Jesus, the graves were removed.
At the base of Golgotha there is the Lion's Gate and a road where thousands of people pass by daily, for the road and the gate are very near the city.
