A:The dispute over East Jerusalem is not about religion, but about land. The Palestinians, who include Muslims and Christians, want to hold onto their homes in East Jerusalem, also making it the capital of Palestine. The Israelis, who are at least nominally Jewish, want to control all of Jerusalem, making it their capital and, as far as international law allows, dispossess the Palestinians.
