The Palestinian claim to Jerusalem can no longer be viewed with any legitimacy. You often hear of Palestinians claiming Jews have no roots, and therefore no claim to Jerusalem. But in September a 10 year old Russian tourist Matvei Tcepliaev discovered a stone seal at the Temple Mount from the time of David; which made clear once and for all Jews do have historical roots, and thus a superior claim to the city of Jerusalem. All he had to do was sift through some dirt.
The seal was dated to be some 3000 years old, to the time of King David's conquest of Jerusalem, and the building of the First Temple by his son, and heir, Solomon. This means that Jews were present in Jerusalem at least 1000 years before Muslims built The Dome of The Rock there, also meaning Jews were most likely present there for a longer time before that.
This also confirms numerous Biblical passages regarding Jerusalem in the 10th Century BC. Palestinians and pro-Palestinian supporters have long since tried to conceal that fact. All their arguments and revisionism have been soundly routed.
I also can't help but chuckle at the fact that Muslims in their attempt to hide this damning evidence unwittingly led to it's discovery!
