Let me take some of you on a little history lesson.

A long time ago, the land was the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah, with Jerusalem as their heart. Over centuries they were conquered by powerful empires, first the Babylonians, then Persians, then Greeks, and finally the Romans. Some Jews stayed, others were exiled, but the connection to the land never disappeared.

When the Romans crushed a Jewish revolt in 135 CE, they renamed the land “Syria Palaestina” to erase its Jewish roots. That was actually the first time the land started being called Palestine, remember it was Isreal and Judah in the first place.

From there, the land changed hands many times. The Byzantine Empire ruled for a while, then Arab Muslim armies conquered it in the 600s. Slowly, the people living there became mostly Arabic speaking and Muslim, though Jewish and Christian communities never left completely.

In the 1500s the Ottoman Empire took over and ruled for about 400 years. By the 1800s, the land was mostly Arab, Muslims and Christians, with small Jewish communities in cities like Jerusalem and Hebron.

After World War I, the Ottomans collapsed and Britain took over Palestine. Britain had already promised in 1917 through the Balfour Declaration to support a Jewish homeland there. Jewish immigration rose, especially as persecution grew in Europe and later with Hilter showing them pepper (Holocaust). Arabs resisted this, fearing they would lose their land but the Jews in exiled also stated it was their land too.

In 1947, the United Nations tried to solve the problem by splitting the land into two states, one Jewish (55%) and one Arab (45%), with Jerusalem kept international. The Jews accepted. The Arabs rejected.
But the map came with a lot of flaws with no specific border, including notes on defense, farmland, ports, but focused on where the Jews and Arab lived at that moment.

In 1948, Israel declared independence. Arab countries invaded, Israel survived, and even expanded beyond the 55% given to them:
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were expelled in what they call the Nakba, meaning the catastrophe. The West Bank was taken by Jordan, Gaza by Egypt.

Then in 1967, Israel fought Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in the Six Day War and captured the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, Sinai, and the Golan Heights. That war made Israel an occupier of more lands than it was given to them, and since then the conflict has never really ended.

So, the land has carried many names and rulers, Israel, Judea, Palestine, but the heart of the problem is the same. Two peoples, both with deep roots and identity tied to the same land, unable to fully share it.

COPIED

Those of you claiming that Jerusalem belongs to Palestinians do not properly have a proper grasp of history. So, kindly go back to history and stop all these sentimental "attachment" to a group.

Kudos to the security forces there. God will continue to expose those evil sets of creature
