The last group to set out to capture Jerusalem was the First Crusade, and even they weren't particularly looking to capture the actual city. Muslims view craving for physical locations such as cities and land as idolatry. Even the Jews who started out to create modern Israel considered other locations such as in Africa. No, physical old Jerusalem is mostly of historical interest.

The early Zionists rejected Uganda because of the historical and religious ties to Jerusalem. I say again: how many even somewhat observant Jews do you know? How many Israelis do you know? Have you ever been to Israel? How was your poll determining Jerusalem to be only of "historical interest" conducted? What makes you more of an expert than Minister Sharansky? For that matter, what makes you more of an expert on Judaism than ME, since I happen to be both Jewish and Israeli?

I am very glad you don't make decisions for Israel. You would get along very well with Yossi Beilin and Yossi Sarid, the extreme far left of Israeli politics. They share your views.
