At the end of 2006, the population of Jerusalem , all its neighborhoods, east and west, was 733,329.
To that, we add its Judea and Samaria environs (rounded off):
Efrat 7,500
Betar Illit 27,000
Givat Ze'ev 10,600
Gush Etzion 12,200
Modi'in Illit 30,500
Maten Binyamin 40,000
Maaleh Adumin 30,000
Kirya Arba 7,000
______
163,800
All adding up to almost 900,000.
And three years have passed.
Do you realize what that mass of population means - without including Bet Shemesh, Mateh Yehudah, etc. vs. the "West Bank of the Palestinian Authority"?

There is one little issue :
The arabs living in jerusalem without the israeli nationality make up for almost a third of the total population of the city (and the number over-estimated is also already include in the PA numbers).
I don't remember if this number include the israeli-arabs too, but it means than in fact the jewish population was "only" about 700'000.
But it's still a good number and still growing, B''H !!!
