Anyone who claims title through Jordan is doing just what Israel is commonly accused of --- squatting on someone else's land. The East Quarter was the Jewish quarter, that was besieged by Jordan in the '48, with victorious result that drove out its populace, and left Jordan in occupation of the place.
