    For 3,000 years, Jews have expressed the desire to return to their ancestral homeland: at the Passover Seder, the Yom Kippur service, in daily prayer, in the blessing after meals, under the wedding canopy, on the yearly day of national mourning Tisha B'Av, and by placing Israeli soil in the coffin of their deceased. Centuries before the inception of Islam, Jews were yearning to return to Israel, and the Koran itself records this in many suras (chapters), such as 17:7, 17:104, and 5:21 that tells the Jews to "enter into the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you." The only period in the last 3,000 years without a continued Jewish presence in the West Bank was the 19 years between 1948-1967 when the Jordanian government banned Jews from living there. Under Jordanian rule, Jews were forbidden from praying at the Western Wall; the Mount of Olives cemetery and 58 Jewish synagogues were destroyed. However, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim sites are open to all worshippers under Israeli rule -- except for the site of the ancient Jewish Temple, the Temple Mount, where Jews are normally forbidden to pray. When Israel gained control and reunified Jerusalem in 1967, rather than forbid Muslim worship or close the mosques, it allowed the Muslim Waqf (religious authority) to administer and control the Temple Mount and maintain the Al-Aqsa mosque. Israel signed independent peace treaties with Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994), each time giving away either land, oil, settlements, or strategic military advantage to achieve a peaceful agreement. In 1917, 1937, 1947, 1956, 1979, and 1993 Israeli leaders established a pattern of accepting the handover of land in exchange for peace agreements with its Arab neighbors. The very formula "Land for Peace" indicates that Arabs compromise for what they want most -- land, while Israel compromises for what it wants most -- peace.

    For 3,000 years, Jews have expressed the desire to return to their ancestral

    homeland: at the Passover Seder, the Yom Kippur service, in daily prayer, in the
    blessing after meals, under the wedding canopy, on the yearly day of national
    mourning Tisha B'Av, and by placing Israeli soil in the coffin of their deceased.

    Centuries before the inception of Islam, Jews were yearning to return to Israel,
    and the Koran itself records this in many suras (chapters), such as 17:7, 17:104,
    and 5:21 that tells the Jews to "enter into the Holy Land which Allah has assigned
    to you."

    The only period in the last 3,000 years without a continued Jewish presence in the
    West Bank was the 19 years between 1948-1967 when the Jordanian government banned
    Jews from living there.

    Under Jordanian rule, Jews were forbidden from praying at the Western Wall; the
    Mount of Olives cemetery and 58 Jewish synagogues were destroyed. However,
    Christian, Jewish, and Muslim sites are open to all worshippers under Israeli rule
    -- except for the site of the ancient Jewish Temple, the Temple Mount, where Jews
    are normally forbidden to pray.
