The Land of Jerusalem People who seek peace do not realize that it is within themselves, they try to shift the blame onto others and expect them to change in order to first, and this is the problem of Palestine/Israel. For many years Jerusalem has gone through a huge amount of wars, which had the aim of occupying the land for an individual religion. Three main religions; Islam, Christianity and Judaism consider Jerusalem an important part of their worship and to this day for centuries these three religions have fought for the land of Jerusalem, but none have considered the idea of dividing the land among all people carrying different religion. The religious connection with Jerusalem is one of the main reasons for the struggle for land, which continues to this day. So, how is the religion of Judaism connected to Jerusalem? To begin with the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible as Psalms 137:5-6 proclaims, “If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. Let my tongue stick to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not bring Jerusalem up to the beginning of my joy." Therefore, Jerusalem is mentioned in the Hebrew book "349 times", therefore the Jewish people deliberate on the land as their own from the beginning, and also because Abraham attempted to sacrifice his son Isaac for the sake of God at the place known as today's Mount of Temple. Jews around the world pray towards Jerusalem, the holy temple known as the Western Wall, as a place to pray and make a pilgrimage. In the faith of the Jews, Jerusalem was a holy land for them more than four centuries ago; therefore Israel does not give up fighting against other religions to keep the land only for...... middle of paper ... of pain, whether due to the death of a relative or an illness due to the wars they had gone through , and since World War I the death rate of Palestinians and Israelis has increased over time. Nowadays, religions are held in a higher place than the human soul and people all over the world do not realize how important someone's life is. Because of the indifferent people, the problem of Jerusalem will never be solved if nothing is done to stop the killings in the most precious holy land for the three main monotheistic religions. So, the only solution for the land of Jerusalem is to share it with all the different people; whether it is a race or a religion, and also to have a flag and government accepted by the entire country. Finally, after hundreds of years of fighting, the country was finally able to learn the definition of peace and freedom.
