Conflict Between Jews and Muslim

2.  The causes of the conflict between Jews and Arabs have many causes. The biggest reason why they are fighting is because they each want to control Jerusalem. The Jews want it because it contains the Dome of the Rock were Abraham sacrificed his son Issac. It is their holy city, and only true capital. Muslims want it because its where Mohammad ascended, in the Dome of the Rock. The conflict hasn't just started over night it's been going on for centuries, but wars against it that have been greatly recorded and are close by are the 1948, 1956,  1967, and 1973. King Soloman built a temple that was destroyed, rebuilt, then destroyed, he was on the Jews side. I think that Jerusalem should be handed over completely to the Jews. I have many reasons mainly is that they have history there like over 3,300 years and it's the only place that they can control. Arabs already have so much land, and their capital of Mecca. They just want it for political reasons, they don't really care about the history of the place. I bet that if they did have control over it they would order all the Jewish holy sites to be destroyed, not caring about the history or significance. Arabs have attacked Israel at least 4 times and Israel has won, they have been nice enough to not keep land from the war, so the Arabs should repay them by giving the Jews just this one city, where they can pray in peace. Of course Muslims can still go to their holy places as long as they don't disrupt anything. But if they do come then they shouldn't be able to hold any political positions. This is just my thoughts anyways, probably I'm wrong in some of my thoughts or inferences but they all make sense.
