I am all for Israel taking the whole of Jerusalem and keeping it as their undivided capital until the end of time.

Jerusalem belongs to Jews only.

Ermmm how? Please elaborate?

 

With that logic the indigenous white are the supreme rulers of this country. Such a extreme and irrational statement.

It's simple. Just like London belongs to the English or Berlin belongs only to the Germans and Paris belongs only to the French.

Of course it's okay for the Arabs to keep living in Jerusalem, but the city should belong to and be governed by the Jewish state of Israel. And Arabs in Jerusalem can only voice their opinion through the institutions in the Israeli society.

If you're talking about ethnic self-determination, that rather goes against your argument. The Jews, at least in modern times, arrived in Israel artificially. Granted, the Palestinians (being of Arab ethnicity), injected themselves there as well, but they have a sizable head-start of 1200 years or so.

 

Do the Jews have the right to a homeland? It's a tough academic question, since they would have to supplant a native people wherever they could go. If we take an absolute "a land belongs to its people" approach, Jews have no-where to go that they could legitimately call their home (at least, call their home exclusively)
