Dennis Prager has a wonderful compilation of the numbers, showing the comparative morality of Israeli and Palestinian claims. Do yourself a favor and read it here.

Some highlights:

Number of times Jerusalem is mentioned in the Old Testament: over 700

Number of times Jerusalem is mentioned in the Koran: 0

Number of Arab leaders who visited Jerusalem when it was under Arab rule (1948 to 1967): 1

Number of Arab refugees who fled the land that became Israel: approximately 600,000

Number of Jewish refugees who fled Arab countries: approximately 600,000

And that's just the start....
