As the Bible has always said, God promised to the Jewish people the land of Israel. History also by discoveries in the area of Bible archology. Add to that that when the Jewish people began to return to Israel, going back to the Zionist movement of the 1890's, turning a former desert area into a sucessful farming movement ,and to this day, with high tech discoveries coming from Israel itself. For this Israel truly and with Jerusalem, both do belong to the Jewish people.
