Yes. You have that completely accurate.
Jerusalem is located in Israel, which is in the Middle East. The State of Palestine claims East Jerusalem, which includes a number of modern Arab neighborhoods and the Old City.
There is much discussion concerning Jerusalem's proper legal nature and ownership:
Today, the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel annexed East Jerusalem and considers it a part of Israel, although the international community has rejected the annexation as illegal and considers East Jerusalem occupied territory. The international community does not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and most foreign embassies are located in Tel Aviv and its suburbs. Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of a future Palestinian state. Israel, however, considers the entire city to be a part of Israel following its annexation of East Jerusalem through the Jerusalem Law of 1980.

Why has conflict over the control of the city of Jerusalem occurred throughout history?
The city has holy sites that are important to multiple religions.
Has Israel's capital been the sacred city of three major religions?
Jerusalem certainly has holy sites of the three major monotheistic religions and adherents of those religions living within its walls, but depending on how "home" is defined, this may or may not qualify. The leadership of all Christian Churches and all Islamic Mosques in Jerusalem are governed by councils operating outside of Jerusalem, so the homes of those religions can be as far away as Rome, Addis Ababa, or Mecca. Based on that, only Judaism has its home and central apparatus in Jerusalem. Other religions have a presence and wonderful sites, but not a home, even if the people of those religions have made Jerusalem their home.

Why is Jerusalem an important place of pilgrimage for Christians?
Jerusalem is where Islam's third most holy site, The Mosque of Al-Aqsa, is located. For Jews, Jerusalem is important because it is the site of their holiest place, the temple mount. For Christians it is important because Jesus was crucified, buried and rose from the dead in Jerusalem. Muslims, Jews and Christians all come to Jerusalem on pilgrimages to see it.
What happened to the Jews after the temple was destroyed?
First Destruction:
They were exiled, dispersed, suppressed, and defeated. The Babylonian exile began. The Jews now understood the truth of the Prophets' warnings; and idolatry disappeared among even the least religious of the people.
The Second Destruction:
The Jews were crushed by the Romans and the long exile began, even for those who remained in the Holy Land. On the other hand, the Second Destruction, as painful and tragic as it was, at least accomplished the disappearance of the impious cliques (as alluded in the parable in the Talmud, Gittin 56b, in which the "barrel of honey" represents the Temple, and the "דרקון" hints to the Sadducees, among others). Once the Temple, and Jerusalem, were razed, the men of power melted away and the internal life of the Jewish communities returned to the aegis of the Torah-sages. Other non-traditional groups such as the Samaritans and the Essenes also now dissociated themselves from the Jewish people.

How many people went on noah's ark?
Eight people is the classic answer because most people do not read with the intent to find deeper meaning. In Genesis chapter 7, verses 13-16 (KJV) give a detail description of all who were listed upon the ark. Most were sent in by two except for those of "clean" animals which would be set aside for sacrifice and they went in by 7. (Note: all information is brought forth from the Bible- King James Version)
Verse 13, it gives the names of Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth and their wives. This is where most people would answer, 8. However, as one who studied Foreign Language, I understand the Bible is a translated work. The original Scripture was written in Hebrew. Therefore, I was curious for more of a mechanical view so I researched each of the English words for a deeper meaning in the Hebrew language. It was not until the 15th verse that a revelation of more people upon the ark.
"And they (the animal life listed in verse 14) went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life."
"...two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life." is the key here. In Hebrew, the word breath is ruach. Ruach occurs 389 times in the Old Testament. In each instance, it was given to show characteristic of the following: God, Holy Spirit, mankind, and angels. It denotes "invisible force" or the psychological of a being. This was given to mankind from God, the Creator of all things (See the book of John, chapter 1) Although, animal life, e.g. a cow, does breathe air and would die without air, it does not have a soul. There is possibility, there are those who may believe that animals do have a soul however I base my thought from faith in the written WORD of God.
Therefore, it is my contention that the "two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life" are those of the Gentile people as would be known later by the children of Israel. Remember, the children of Israel where a chosen people from the Messiah would come from to bring salvation to all nations, kindred, tongues. Maybe, this will give a better appreciation of the genealogies scribed in the Word of God. It shows the family lineage from which Jesus was born. (Matthew chapter 1 -royal lineage and Luke 3- natural lineage)

Why is Jerusalem so religious?
Jerusalem was the site of the Akeidah (Binding of Isaac, in Genesis ch.22) and was later the seat of the Davidic Kings, when King David, Israel's greatest king, founded the dynasty that ruled Judah for much of its history, making Jerusalem the capital of the United Kingdom of Israel during his reign and that of his son, King Solomon.(See: Jewish history timeline)
Most importantly, it was the location of the First and Second Temples, where offerings were made to God and where His presence dwelt in the Holy of Holies (1 Kings ch.8) and was manifested in a number of miracles (Mishna, Avos ch.5).
Jerusalem is called the holy city by the prophets (Isaiah 52:1). It was where Jews would go three times a year to celebrate the holiest festivals (Deuteronomy ch.16). Even after the destruction of the Temple, the Temple Mount and adjacent Western ("Wailing") Wall, which still stands, is the holiest site in Judaism. It is hoped and prophesied (Ezekiel ch.40-44) that one day a third temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem and that the Messiah will come to it.
Jerusalem has become representative of the connection with the Divine. Jerusalem is also seen as the source of Divine Law, as demonstrated in many Jewish prayers: "Ki miTziyon tetze Torah udvar Hashem miYerushalayim - From Zion comes the Torah and the Word of God from Jerusalem" (Isaiah 2:3).
Jerusalem is also representative of the Redemption of the Jewish people from their physical and spiritual exile, because this exile causes the melancholy that the Jewish people experience by being apart from God's presence. The Redemption, which Jews believe will be brought by the Messiah, will result in the Jewish people returning to Jerusalem.
According to ancient Hebrew tradition, Jerusalem is the site where God took the very earth from which Adam, the first man, was formed (midrash Rabbah 14:8). Read Genesis carefully; Adam was not created in the garden of Eden; he was taken there. Jerusalem, because it is the first place on Earth where the spirit of God dwelt, is considered a direct link to God.
Judaism is the oldest monotheistic religion and Jerusalem has been its only holy site for over 3000 years. King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by invading Babylonians, and rebuilt at the same site (known as the Temple Mount) about 2500 years ago. It was then destroyed again when the Romans conquered Judea about 2000 years ago, killing a million Jews, and expelling and enslaving hundreds of thousands. All Jews who value their heritage feel ties to Jerusalem and the holy land, where so many of their people struggled for the freedom to practice Judaism. At the same time, Jews believe that all people should be welcome there, regardless of faith.
Jerusalem is the eternal Jewish city, and a symbol of a future time of peace. Jerusalem is also the focal point of prayer of the Jews. When they pray, wherever they are, they face towards Jerusalem (Talmud, Berakhot 30a), with love and longing. The sentiment is aptly expressed in Psalm 137: "By the waters of Babylon, there we sat and wept as we remembered Zion....If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its wisdom."
For thousands of years we remembered our exile and prayed for its end. Now at least we can do so from "up close."
