The Palestinians have a better claim than anyone else to the West Bank. Whose do you think it is?

re: Read your History:

Jerusalem has been owned by (in this order):

Jews again (Israel, part since 1949, all since 1967)
Arabs again (Jordan)
England
Turks (Ottoman Empire)
Arabs again
Crusaders (I think it was some French noble who was temporarily King of Jerusalem)
Arabs
Greeks (Byzantine Empire)
Italians (Roman Empire)
Egyptians, Mesopotamians (became Iraq), and Persians alternating for a thousand years
Jews (1000 B.C.)

In fact, just about everyone but the Chinese and Brazilians has owned it at one time or another. And, if the Holy Sites get turned over to the U.N., then even they could claim partial control.
