Jerusalem

Jerusalem is important to the Jewish people but it is also important to Christians and muslims. Religious importance alone do not give Israel the right to occupy all of Jerusalem. Just like the Arabs cannot wish Israel away, Israel cannot wish Palestinians away. It is shameful to support such a move. If Jerusalem really is the promised land of the Jewish people why is there so much strife and blood shed? In other religions lands where prophets, saints, or gods are born become important and reason to fight. If the United Nations took an active part in stopping Hamas from sending rockets to Israel, it is only fair that this institution stop Israeli settlements. Palestine's borders are sealed on the Egypt side and encroached upon from the Israeli side. Palestine is subject to Israeli bombings of the kind we saw in December 2008. I do not know about the world but I for one find it very distasteful.
