Every faith has its political quarrels, such as the one that resulted in the ascension of Hanukah to a major holiday. Are you suggesting that Palestinians who lived in Jerusalem when the Israel state was declared have no moral or legal right to live there and be treated as equal citizens? Are you suggesting that the Palestinians do not have a right to a homeland such as the one the International community granted the Jews on the very territory already occupied by a significant population of Palestinians? If the answer to either question is "no", then Jerusalem should be reserved as a sanctuary city holy to three faiths, and not the capital of any country.
