Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and is holy to all three religions.
Both the Israelis and the Arabs want Jerusalem as their capital.
Jerusalem had been built by King David, and is mentioned in the Bible countless times. It is the holiest place in the Jewish religion.
Although Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Quran even once, Muslims claim it is the fourth holist place in Islam, since supposedly Muhammad ascended to heaven from there.
Jerusalem is holy to the Christians too, but they are not fighting for control of the city.

Jerusalem, and it at the moment belongs to Israel, despite the fact that the Palestinians are supposed to have access to the Dome of the Rock.

Jerusalem is correct. It is a city in modern-day Israel, aka Palestine.

Jerasulem, and The Temple of the Nativity. Because the catholics believe it's the birthplace of Christ. Jerusalem because it is the region Christ was born, as well as the place where David built the Temple of God.

We all call it different things. Basically, the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
