Jerusalem is very important to three of the World's major Religions. It is also the capital of modern Israel. But given the facts, should Jerusalem be just the capital of Israel? I think the UN should move to Jerusalem. Wtf is the UN doing in NY? Jerusalem should have an international police controlling the place, not an Israeli police, because the city belongs to Judaism, Christianism and Islam.
If we fail to see the importance of this city, maybe it will be lost and billions of persons could miss it. Great part of the World's history was written there. It saw the ancient Kingdom of Israel, the Persian Empire, the Greek Empire, the Roman Empire, the Crusades, the Ottoman Empire, and today's Israel-Palestine.
It survived all of the above. It should be considered one of the most important places in the World. Maybe its capital.
Jerusalem has been the holiest city in Judaism and the spiritual homeland of the Jewish people since the 10th century BCE. For Christians, Jerusalem's place in the life of Jesus gives it great importance, in addition to its place in the Old Testament, the Hebrew Bible. Jerusalem has played a great role in Islam. It is the location of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, considered by many Muslims to be the third holiest site. It is strongly associated with people regarded as Prophets of Islam - in particular, David, Solomon, and Jesus. It was the first qibla (direction of prayer) in Islam, before the Kaaba in Mecca.
