Which group has the most historical or religious claim in the land in question, especially Jerusalem?
*
The Jewish HISTORY as that is the land of Jewish ancestors and was established as a Jewish state thousands of years ago..
The Jewish RELIGION because Israel, specifically Jerusalem, has sites of religious significance - especially pertaining to the Hebrew Bible (land of the patriarchs)..
The Jews, because Israel is the only Jewish homeland while there are many Muslim states.
The Muslim HISTORY, because, before this conflict, a Muslim government (The Ottoman Empire) ruled Israel for 400 years.
The Muslim RELIGION, because Jerusalem was a place of importance (where Muhammad ascended to the heavens).
They have equal claims.
No claims should be made based on religious history.
