Jerusalem it is for Arab or Jew ?

Answer 1

Jerusalem is Gods city given to the Jews.
God also gave the Arabs most of the middle east but not Israel and certainly not Jerusalem.

But everyone wants it, Christians, Arabs, the UN, Europe, The Pope etc....
But none of them will have it.

PS. if Jerusalem was such a Holy place for the Arabs I have to wonder why they let it become a waste land while under their rule.
Not even Mohammed the founder of Islam ever stepped one foot in Jerusalem (a dream doesnt count).

Answer 2

Jerusalem is a place. Places cannot think. With that in mind on a being can live and think. Jerusalem is today the capital of Israel. It is the place where the first and second temple was build to god. This makes it holy ground to the Jews. This is the place where Christianity was born. Jesus would end his holy life in Jerusalem. He also taught in the Temple of Jerusalem. This act makes it the holiest city in Christianity. This city is also the place where Mohamed rode his white stead into heaven. He did this from the Dome of the Rock. This place is on the same area as the old temple.

So it is a very simple answer to a question that was phrases wrong. Jerusalem today is a city for Jews, Christian, and Muslims. If all three religions could see this, it would end a lot of hate. Jerusalem could still be the capital of Israel but offer access the the city for all who believe in what they believe in. Mecca however is a closed city that non Muslim cannot enter, I feel that is wrong. It should be opened so that Islam can be better understood by all religions are we all not people of the book?

Answer 3

According to international law East Jerusalem is a Palestinian city. The city is holy to Jews, Christians and Muslims. West Jerusalem is an Israeli city where Jews live and East Jerusalem is Palestinian city where Palestinian Christians and Muslims live.

Answer 4

Jerusalem belongs to the Jews. It is in Israel and was founded and is maintained by the citizens of Israel.

Answer 5

It is funny that you are asking this question on the Israel section. You probably expect what answers you will get.
Arabs will say it is theirs and Jews will say it is theirs. Each of them have strong reasons.

This is my answer:

Jerusalem belongs to the followers of the three religions. Muslims because the Aqsua mosqe is there and it is considered the third holy place for them. Jews because it s their holiest place. Christians because Jesus was born there.

I am Muslim Palestinian

Answer 6

I suppose whoever can prove they found it first, but they could share!
It is crazy to be killing people over a land dispute - I saw that Promises movie someone mentioned, and I have also seen a show where Israeli and Palestinian doctors are able to work professionally & respectfully in a local hospital - working together side-by-side SAVING lives! I think the majority of "normal" residents of both would like to be friends and neighbors. I think they are just taught the wrong information, and either believe it or are too afraid to contest it.

Answer 7

The old city of jeursalem is for everyone, it is holy to all 3 faiths.

Jeursalem is for both arabs and jews, that is how it was made originally by the UN.

Answer 8

I think Jerusalem is for Jews. But, I know they'll never stop fighting so they should just officially decree Palestine it's own country and then divide Jerusalem in half and make a Jewish sector on one side and an Arab sector on the other. That way they'll stop fighting.

Answer 9

Jerusalem is Israels capital!!!! but it is a holy place for 3 religious

Answer 10

The Israelites went to egypt with moses. Then they turned their back on god and left. Then The muslims RECIEVED IT AS A GIFT since the israelites didn't want it. Then For return for their Kindness, The Palestinians Let Jews Hide Legally in Palestine during WW II. The Israeli's were supposed to leave. But they didnt. A Big War. Jews have it Ilegaly. And UnModestly. It Belongs to the muslims.

Edit: I would LOVE To Disagree with you Arnold K. When The Christains Conqured Jerusalem, and then when the Muslims Conquered Jereusalem, The LEader of the City Said They Won't Give it up, unless they see the mighty-ness of the leader. When The Caliph Came The City Leader Didn't See any Mighty-ness. Just Noble-ness, and Modesty. (look up why he saw that) So The Muslim's Ruled Since The third? Caliph, until WW II, Then The Jewish illegaly, and unfairly, took over Palestine (now Israel >|P

Edit: Ultra K Under The Muslim's EmpireS They Jews, Christians, HINDUS, ATHIESTS, TAOSTS, and any other religion, wasnt slaughtered! They were more free than any other rule they had been under. The Muslims had a system of checks and balances. The Ruler did not choose the punishments, the court did. They would ask them to swear in by their book. If they were Muslim they would have a quran. Christian-bible, Jew-TeNaKh, or one of its books, Hindu-their book;and they would have 1 of their gods in front of them, Sikhs-their book. and so forth. Oh! So Finders Keepers huh! so we dont belong on earth! We have been here since the beginning of earthly time! Islam has been here since Adam, just not the terms and extra stuff. You Read in The Holy Bible and Holy Torat, that the past prophets did something important, and all of them, try to prove your religion. Jews, you turned your back on The Holy Prophet Musa (moses), Christians, You did nothing wrong except get tricked. The Ruler of the roman Empire was Polytheistic, and he got together all of the Christian men of the world. And "tried to make his own bible", turns out het tricked them. the trickerey made Christianity, Orthodox Christianity, Catholicism, Protesten?, Episcopalism, and all the rest. So Jews, It is your fault and Satans. Christions, It is Corintihian II or whatever

Edit: Andy C, You Are right. But Palestine And Israel Both would rather give the other the whole country, as long as they could keep Jerusalem for themselves. See, If The UN Gave the two "Political Partys" a choice of having all of Israel, except jerusalem, or having Just
jerusalem, both partys would want Jerusalem. get it?

Edit: William B, Mecca Is Closed because it is too holy. That is why it couldnt be the capital of the Muslim Empires when the leaders of unislamic states came, they wouldnt be allowed in, for that reason, It is also not Saudi's. It is closed because The Prophet Wanted it to be. Not all people are good. If a Hater came to mecca, he could easily disguise himself as a Muslim, and plant a bomb on the kaaba, and while the people do their LAST Tawaf (circle) around The Kaaba. boom. See, Thatis why it is closed, and the only way to get in is by Shahadah.

Edit: (My Hand hurts from all of this typing): Toby 1, Muhummad did go to Jerusalem, PHYSICALLY!, He Fell asleep on the rock. Which Just HAppened to be ontop of the temples, SEE! It is Just Proof! The Three most holiest Sites That We see as such are right there. All Clumped Together! That Means That is the Most Holiest Place of The Books! Continuing---The Rock Started Moving, When Mohammad Woke up, he look down, seeing the ground. He was frightened. He looked up, he saw a hole in the sky-----any other person of that time would say the sky broke or something, but muslims were more modern than that and new the sky cannot scientifically brake-------- Out of the hole was Gabriel. He was reaching for muhamad's hand. He came up, but the rock wanted to come to heaven too. But Angel Jibrial pushed him down with so much force that if you see the rock now, you will see little dents in the rock. Those are Angel's Fingerprints. The Prophet saw All Of the Prophets B4 Him. The Holy Prophet Jesus, The Holy Prophet Moses, The Holy Prophet Abraham, and all of the others.
