Now this is a teachable moment, perhaps not for you but for those interested. Jerusalem was a Byzantine city and it was inhabited by... Christians! It was relinquished by the patriarch after a siege... incredibly the patriarch had requested that the assurance of Aelia must state that Jews will not be allowed to settle in the area, granted it was, as noted in the document. Perhaps, because of Jewish role in Sassanid capture of Jerusalem and subsequent massacre of Christians.Israel was a Jewish land before Caliph Umar brought muslims from the hejaz and settled them in Palestine.
