claim the right to control and live in a small territory traditionally known as Palestine.
The Jewish Claim
The Old Testament is the story of the struggles of the Jews to survive and their longing for the promised land in Palestine. They settled there in about 1200 B.C.. Problems arose in 586 B.C. (Babylonians) and in 70 A.D. (Romans). In 135 AD, under the direction of the Romans,they were forbidden to assemble for prayer or visit Jerusalem again. For the next 18 centuries they were a people without a homeland,dispersed throughout the world (diaspora). Their recurring goal was simple: "next year in Jerusalem"
The Arab Claim
In the 7th century A.D., Palestine was taken over by Arabs as they spread their religion through the Middle East and North Africa. Jerusalem, and more specifically, the Dome of the Rock became a sacred place for them.
