#2 Jerusalem could be the capitol of Israel, Palestine, and the federal capital of the United States of the Middle East, leaving it as a sacred site for Jews, Muslims, and Christians to visit and pray.

#3 We have already seen the upshot of any Muslim custodianship of Jerusalem. The Wailing Wall turned into a public urinal, the Nativity Church desecrated, the Temple Mount being systematically cleansed of any Jewish artifacts. I used to think that Jerusalem should be maintained by a multi-national force like post-WWII Berlin. Now, I believe that Israel will be the only competent manager of this real estate and, what's more, the Arab world desperately needs a thumb in the eye of having to watch the entirety of their ersatz holy site remain in Jewish hands.

#4 Personally, other than the old city, I don't think Israel has a good reason to want E. Jerusalem.

Yes it would cut off a few shrines but it would also allow Israel to rid itself of a hundred thousand welfare consuming arabs (some of whom are, in fact criminals who use their access to W. Jerusalem to commit petty crimes and then hide out).
