Jews, Muslims, and Christians all claim ownership of this sacred city (in part or as a whole). But whose claim is valid? Read this Jewish perspective on the issue of ownership.?1. According to this summary, when and?how?did Jews acquire this city??According to the summary, Judaism made Jerusalem a holy city more than three thousand years ago. Even though some Muslims claim Jebusite ancestry and contend that the Jebusites founded Jerusalem during the Bronze Age, many Jews doubt any of the Muslims are related to the Jebusites of that era and dismiss the idea of such. 2. According to this summary, when and?why?did Muslims build the two mosques (worship buildings) on top of the temple mount?According to the summary, Muslims built the mosques on top of the temple mount because Syrian Muslims could not access Mecca, Medina, Jeddah and At Ta’if when the people of what is now Iraq revolted and conquered the region in eastern Saudi Arabia containing these cities. To give the Syrian Muslim followers a substitute, the fifth Ommaid caliph resolved the problem by making Jerusalem a center of pilgrimage and building a Mosque where the Temple once stood. Although he never built a “mosque” at the site, this caliph did erect a large square building for the Syrian Muslims to pray. ‘Abd-al-malik replaced this square building with the Dome of the Rock in 691. Less than 25 years later, in 715 the Omaaid caliphs built the second mosque at the Temple of the Mount. They called it the Furthest Mosque as stated in the Qur’an. By associating the Furthest Mosque with Prophet Muhammed’s Night Journey to heaven, they intertwined Jerusalem with the Prophet and the Qur’an and perhaps the contentions about Jebus (Jerusalem) being founded by the Jebusites. 3. Your opinions: compare these claims with other property claims in history (Native Americans vs. colonists; England vs. colonists; Texas vs. Mexico; etc.). Does it matter who owned it first? why? For more pro-Jewish views, some of the links at the bottom of the "palestinefacts" webpage offer a more lengthy explanation.I think that land and peoples are tied across time and space. Inevitably, the descriptions, the narratives people provide are windows to association with the land, one’s people and culture. This is true every place in the world. Whereas the Native Americans did not believe in land ownership, they most certainly disapproved of the way the English used the land and staked claims to it. Since it violated the Native Americans’ cultural beliefs and codes, this is understandable. Yet, one must also consider how far advanced the Native American thinking was and is in this respect. After all, each man’s actions inevitably affect the world. For this reason and many others, the inhabitants of a land always construct a narrative to “justify” or support actions and beliefs. Regardless, it is important to recognize the claims, to understand the stories and the history of each place. After all, each people have inevitably left their marks on the land and in history. Alternately, the land, the history and culture have also coauthored the adaptive strategies of the people, both the original inhabitants and the subsequent ones. This is due on 3/30…I will get the discussion question to you later this week. ................
