Who should really have the possession of the city of Jerusalem, the Jews or the Palestinians?
Who doesn't ask that question (that knows of the issue, of course). I personally, this is through a fourteen year old's perspective and I'm sure I don't have all the facts, but I believe they should both have free rights to the land as long as they are respectful to the others religion. Now I know then that this won't happen (for many reasons) but I'll be talking about the Arab-Israeli Conflict. where after the 1948 war Israel and Arab fought again in 1956, 67, and 73.
These fights show me that the sides weren't ready at the time to share the area or respect each other, but what about now? Are they ready now? How do we know? By trying to answer the original question I seem to be drudging up more question, and maybe those ones can be answered...Experts might read this and think 'wow this girl's crazy to think that they could share with all these issues' and you know, I might be. But there is always a chance for it. During the Cold War people even made steps for peace, but they still weren't quite ready. Maybe not soon, probably not soon, probably not for a long time, but in order to get closer we should look at the causes for the conflict.
Well, they just don't agree. It mostly has to do with their religions, different religions but they both involve the same place, Jerusalem. They both want it because it is holy to them and their religion. It's like one big tug-of-war. They also don't respect each other. They don't respect the others religion or ideas, basically they are close minded to each other.
None of which are at fault, or maybe they're both at fault. But they have yet to see it that way. Perhaps, maybe, in the future, with help of others, they'll make a treaty, find peace, solve their issues.
So, in answer to the question, they shouldn't have 'possession' of the land. They should have mutual respect and use it together.
