According to the 1947 UN Partition Plan, Jerusalem was supposed to be an international city, not part of either the proposed Jewish or Arab state. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, West Jerusalem was captured by Israel, while East Jerusalem (including the Old City) was captured by Jordan. Upon its capture, the Jordanians immediately expelled all the Jewish residents of the Jewish Quarter, most of whom from families that had been living there for centuries. Many synagogues were destroyed, and the Jewish Quarter was bulldozed.
We are still rebuilding from the loss of a very sacred shul that was around for a long time, and the Arab burned it down, the Jewish quarter will never be the same.
Under Jordanian rule jews were not allowed to visit our holy sites, yet, Jews and Israel allow Muslims to go to the temple mount. Thousands are their each friday.
