Understanding the Jerusalem connection
Anyone who believes in dividing Jerusalem and handing over our holy sites will never be a true leader among our people • Though Jerusalem is plagued with problems, nothing will keep us away from the city to which we yearned to return for 2,500 years.
Since the 1967 Six-Day War, the value of Jerusalem has steadily risen in the eyes of the Muslim world. Up until then, it had been neglected for hundreds of years. ( Really now who neglected what, take a look at the wall , and then see what the Arabs made of it, so who neglected what? )

Thus, 597 BC is considered the beginning date of the Jewish Diaspora. While Cyrus the Persian allowed the Judaeans to return to their homeland in 538 BC, most chose to remain in Babylon (talk about leaving their city is ruin, they didn't want to return then or since, till it was given to them by Britain, they had no use for Jerusalem or Palestine , save a few scattered true Jews)
