It is Jerusalem liberation and unifying a city divided. I just wonder why they call it "capture" I only can assume Jason Keyser need some history lessons

Israelis celebrate 35th anniversary of unified Jerusalem By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Thursday that Israel would never relinquish any part of Jerusalem, as hundreds of Israelis marched through the city to celebrate the capture of its disputed eastern sector and Old City in the 1967 Six Day war. "As the prime minister of Israel, and in the name of the state of Israel, I swear to defend and protect Jerusalem ... for the Jewish people," he said. Israel captured east Jerusalem, including sites holy to Christians, Jews and Muslims, from Jordan and later annexed it. Successive Israeli governments have said the city would remain united as Israel's undivided capital _ a message celebrated on Jerusalem Day. Jewish Israelis celebrated Jerusalem Day Thursday with a parade. Groups of bank workers, union members, students and others marched through the city carrying blue-and-white Israeli flags and singing "Am Yisrael Chai," or "the Jewish people lives." While the day was mostly a celebration for Jerusalem's Jewish residents, it was also a time to remember those lost during the battle for the city. Sharon, Israeli officials and army generals attended memorial services at Ammunition Hill, where many Jordanian and Israeli soldiers died during the fight.
