Israeli owner restaurant Amsterdam says about attacker of his restaurant. He says; "Me or him, one of the 2 dies, I will never surrender". Tensions in Europe rise high, because both Muslims and Jews live in the Netherlands, the one Pro-Palestinian and the other Pro-Israel. The same as with the Kurds and Turks, Armenians and Azeri people, Northern-Irish Catholics and Protestamts, Russians and Ukrainians in Eastern-Ukraine and Crimia, Hutu's and Tutsi's in Rwanda and Burundi, Shia Houthi Jemeniti vs Sunni Muslim Jemeniti supported by Saoudi Arabia, India vs Pakistan, Allawite and Shia Muslim and Druze Assad Ba'ath party supporters vs Sunni Muslim Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, Jabhat Fatah al-Sham (Arabic: جبهة فتح الشام lit. Front for the Conquest of Syria/the Levant; also described as al-Qaeda in Syria or al-Qaeda in the Levant), and other Sunni Muslim Salafist and non-Salafist Islamist Jihadi extremist groups. And on Assad side of course the Iranian Quds Force (one of five branches of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) specializing in unconventional warfare and military intelligence operations.Responsible for extraterritorial operations) and Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and militant group, and it's paramilitary wing, the Jihad Council.
This conflict has various historical grounds, because it goes back thousands of years, hundreds of years and decades of modern political conflict, geopolitical interests, Global politics, regional politics, Financial interests, economical interests, territorial claims, religious interests, military aims and interests, diplomatic efforts, trade efforts, peace initiatives, coexistence in certain places and on certain levels. Jerusalem has thousands of years of history. Jerusalem has seen a lot of bloodbaths, destruction, rebuilding, destruction and rebuilding and many rulers. The Canaanites, Phoenicians, Phillistines, (old) Israelites with their Israel and Judea kingdoms (Herodes, David, Samuel and other), Babylonians, Ammonites (an ancient Semitic-speaking nation occupying the east of the Jordan River, between the torrent valleys of Arnon and Jabbok, in present-day Jordan), the Assyrians, (Old) Persians, conquering Arab Muslim armies in the beginning of Islam, later the invading Crussaders, Ottoman Turks, Colonial Brits who supported the Arabs in their uprising against the Ottoman Turks in the Middle East during and after the First World War (1914-1915) during which the Ottoman Turks were allies of the Germans and Austrians.
Jerusalem (/dʒəˈruːsələm/; Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם About this soundYerushaláyim; Arabic: القُدس About this soundal-Quds or Bayt al-Maqdis, also spelled Baitul Muqaddas) is a city in Western Asia, on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Both Israel and the Palestinian Authority claim Jerusalem as their capital, as Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there and the State of Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power. Neither claim, however, is widely recognized internationally.
Throughout its long history, Jerusalem has been destroyed at least twice, besieged 23 times, captured and recaptured 44 times, and attacked 52 times. The part of Jerusalem called the City of David shows first signs of settlement in the 4th millennium BCE, in the shape of encampments of nomadic shepherds. In the Canaanite period (14th century BCE), Jerusalem was named as Urusalim on ancient Egyptian tablets, probably meaning "City of Shalem" after a Canaanite deity. During the Israelite period, significant construction activity in Jerusalem began in the 9th century BCE (Iron Age II), and in the 8th century BCE the city developed into the religious and administrative center of the Kingdom of Judah. In 1538, the city walls were rebuilt for a last time around Jerusalem under Suleiman the Magnificent. Today those walls define the Old City, which has been traditionally divided into four-quarters—known since the early 19th century as the Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Quarters. Of course Armenians are christians too, but they have a seperate neighbourhood from the general Christian one, but they are of course part of Christianity. The Old City became a World Heritage Site in 1981, and is on the List of World Heritage in Danger. Since 1860 Jerusalem has grown far beyond the Old City's boundaries. In 2015, Jerusalem had a population of some 850,000 residents, comprising approximately 200,000 secular Jewish Israelis, 350,000 Haredi Jews and 300,000 Palestinians. In 2016, the population was 882,700, of which Jews comprised 536,600 (61%), Muslims 319,800 (36%), Christians 15,800 (2%), and 10,300 unclassified (1%).
Long an object of veneration and conflict, the holy city of Jerusalem has been governed, both as a provincial town and a national capital, by an extended series of dynasties and states. In the early 20th century the city, along with all of historic Palestine, became the focus of the competing national aspirations of Zionists and Palestinian Arabs. This struggle often erupted in violence. The United Nations (UN) attempted to declare the city a corpus separatum (Latin: “separate entity”)—and, thus, avert further conflict—but the first Arab-Israeli war, in 1948, left Jerusalem divided into Israeli (west Jerusalem) and Jordanian (East Jerusalem) sectors. The following year Israel declared the city its capital. During the Six-Day War of 1967, the Jewish state occupied the Jordanian sector and shortly thereafter expanded the city boundaries—thereby annexing some areas of the West Bank previously held by the Jordanians—and extended its jurisdiction over the unified city. Although Israel’s actions were repeatedly condemned by the UN and other bodies, Israel reaffirmed Jerusalem’s standing as its capital by promulgating a special law in 1980. The status of the city remained a central issue in the dispute between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, who claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.Jerusalem in according to JewsThis video shows the deep emotional connection of Orthodox Jews to Yerushaláyim (Jerusalem)Ever since King David made Jerusalem the capital of Israel some 3,000 years ago, the city has played a central role in Jewish existence. The Western (Wailing) Wall - the last remaining vestige of Judaism's holiest site, the ancient Temple - is the object of Jewish veneration and the focus of Jewish prayer. For thousands of years Jews have prayed, “To Jerusalem, thy city, shall we return with joy,” and have repeated the oath: “If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.”
By contrast, Jerusalem was never the central city of any Arab entity. In fact, it was considered a backwater for most of Arab history and never served as a provincial capital under Muslim rule nor was it ever a Muslim cultural center. While the entirety of Jerusalem is holy to Jews, Muslims only revere one site - the Al-Aqsa Mosque. “To a Muslim,” observed British writer Christopher Sykes, “there is a profound difference between Jerusalem and Mecca or Medina. The latter are holy places containing holy sites.”Jerusalem in according to MuslimsJerusalem is considered a sacred site in Islamic tradition, along with Mecca and Medina. Islamic tradition holds that previous prophets were associated with the city, and that the Islamic prophet Muhammad visited the city on a nocturnal journey (Isra and Mi'raj). Due to such significance, it was the first Qibla (direction of prayer) for Muslims and the prophet Muhammad designated the Al-Aqsa for pilgrimage.
Born in 570 AD, Muhammad is believed by Muslims to be a messenger for God. He reformed the perspective that God should be worshiped through prayer, reciting God's messages and only worshiping God. Muhammad declared himself to be the last prophet of the Judaic-Christian Religions and he founded a third Abrahamic religion: Islam. The Dome of the Rock is an Islamic sacred shrine in Jerusalem, built on the Temple Mount. It is believed this is where Muhammad ascended into heaven and was given the second pillar of Islam, to pray five times a day, from Allah, which is still used today. The Dome of the Rock is influenced by Byzantine Christian architecture, being of a Central Dome Plan.
Muhammad is believed to have been taken by the miraculous steed Buraq to visit Jerusalem, where he prayed, and then to visit heaven, in a single night in the year 610. Jerusalem is not directly mentioned by name in the Qur'an, nor is it mentioned by its Arabic translation (Al Quds). However, the Qur'anic verse (17:1) is interpreted by Islamic tafsirs (commentaries) as referring to this journey, with the term "the farthest Mosque" (al-masjid al-Aqsa) referring to the Noble Sanctuary in Jerusalem, where the mosque stands. There he meets other prophets (in particular, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus).
The Al-Aqsa Mosque is specified of being in Jerusalem as per numerous hadith:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: "Then he heard Allah's Apostle saying, "When the people of Quraish did not believe me (i.e. the story of my Night Journey), I stood up in Al-Hijr and Allah displayed Jerusalem in front of me, and I began describing Jerusalem to them while I was looking at it." Sahih Bukhari: Volume 5, Book 58, Number 226.
Part of Jerusalem's significance and holiness to Muslims derives from its strong association with Abraham, David, Solomon, and Jesus. They are all regarded as Prophets of Islam and their stories are mentioned in the Qur'an.
Jerusalem served as the first qibla (direction of prayer) for Muslims. Whilst Muslims were in Mecca, and also for 17–18 months in Medina, Muslims prayed towards Jerusalem. Early mosques in Medina were built to face Jerusalem. In 625, the qibla was changed to the Kaaba in Mecca [Quran 2:142–151]
After Muhammad, many of his Companions lived in Jerusalem, and upon their death they were buried there.Kaaba in MeccaSources: www.britannica.com/place/Jerusalem en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jerusalem-an-introduction

SOUNDBITE (English): Rabbi Aaron Jacobowidz, Brooklyn: "Our general point is that Jews are not Zionists and Zionists are not Jews. The Zionist state does not represent Torah (the Jewish holy book) true Jews, it is against, it's existence is against the Torah, against Jewish law." 7. Protestors 8. Police and protestors 9. SOUNDBITE (English): Rabbi Aaron Jacobowidz, Brooklyn: "Our second point today here is more in details that they (Israelis) do digging up the graves of our sages, because of their atheistic beliefs, their desecration of the holy gravesites, their desecration of everything that's holy and dear to us, their behaviour and hostility of their police and their government against orthodox, ultra-orthodox Jewish people." 10. Wide shot pan across protestors
STORYLINE:
Thousands of ultra-orthodox Jews in New York City took advantage of their Passover holiday on Thursday to shout slogans at the Israeli consulate, denouncing the state of Israel and what they said are current Israeli archaeological digs that are desecrating historical graves.
Passover is a week-long holiday when most orthodox Jews in New York take time off from work. Ultra-orthodox Jews argue that the Jewish holy book, the Torah, which Christians know as the Old Testament, forbids the establishment of a political state for Jews, and that Jews are supposed to remain in exile until released from exile by God himself.
Tens of thousands of ultra-orthodox Jews live in New York City, many in the borough of Brooklyn.
Though it may seem a strange sight to see thousands of Jews demonstrating against Israel, these ultra-orthodox believers made clear they reject Israel and the Zionist philosophy that led to the creation of the state of Israel.
